On Me
32 tens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Went outside for a smoke, had a drink and I spoke
With two men who were as heavy as stone
Said enjoy yourself now lad
When you're old it gets real sad
Well alright, well alright, it's on me

Said well kin ell mate, oh well what can you do
Take your own advice now mate, cos I'm only 22
When you're pushing 80, you'll turn to your mate
And say alright, I weren't right, it's on me

It's alright honey
It's alright, it's on me
There's no use looking down, keep your head in the clouds
It's alright, it's alright, it's on me

I've spent most my life in my room with the dark
Searching for something unknown
Heart stole by the scene, nothing is as it seems
And I write and I write and I dream

So package them up, make the rules as you go
Sell out like stadiums do
They say your talent is wasted, pick the star off the pavement
Then alright, it's alright, it's on me

It's alright honey
It's alright, it's alright, it's on me
There's no use looking down, mate there's no one around
It's alright, it's alright, it's on me

When that spirit you seek touched a part of your soul
And you saw, even just for a while
You're restless at night, cos you know that you might
It's alright, it's alright, it's only

It's only, it's only love
An ah, won't you see, if you try to get close
I will run for the seas, when I'm fighting my heart
Man it hurts as she leaves
It's alright, it's alright, It's on me

It's alright honey
It's alright, it's alright, it's on me
There's no use looking down mate, there's no one around
It's alright, it's alright, it's on me





So yeah, have a good night and yeah cheers for the pint
It's alright, it's alright, it's on me
