Boston Lyrics - Singles - Emmet Swimming

Took him away when I was four 

Indian wrestling partner 

Played cops behind the moving trucks 

Ran around, around 

And as they drove away 

Went back inside to play 

Took my toys 

Scattered them around, around 

(Like yesterday) 

Boston's not far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

To make life just pass on 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

Just pretend nothing's wrong 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

It helps us carry on 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

To make it through till dawn 

It got a little harder 

Split up when I was nine 

Divvied up the furniture 

Went back in the house one last time 

Just to walk around, around 

What could they say? 

"It's not your fault, it'll be okay" 

All my toys were 

Scattered around, around 

(Like yesterday) 

Boston's not far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

To make life just pass on 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

Just pretend nothing's wrong 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

It helps us carry on 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

To make it through till dawn 

Boston's not far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

To make life just pass on 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

To pretend nothing's wrong 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

It helps us carry on 

(Now it's gone) 

So far away 

(Oh, the things we say) 

To make it through till dawn
