Lyrics:

The whole town’s been stood here in a line
The same shit for the sixteenth fucking time
I’m not down, I'm just waiting for a sign
My brain sits right at the borderline

Oh oh

It’s all safe and swell for the lucky few
Who don’t care to take much note of you
Clean my hands with the lasting residue
A new place in this decrepit field of view

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

I don’t wanna go
Won’t you say something to make this place my home
For now
I don’t wanna go
When there’s nothing to do but pack my clothes
For now
So long

It doesn’t look like I’ll be going further
I’ll pick a hole that I’ve festered in before
A pit so dark that I can’t observe her
I’ll crawl so far that you won’t hear me anymore

Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh

I don’t wanna go
Won’t you say something to make this place my home
For now
I don’t wanna go
When there’s nothing to do but pack my clothes
For now
So long

The same woes and the same scars
The same tones at the same part
The same moans from the same heart
The same goes that he’ll go far
The same girls at the same bars
The same walls and the same art
The same clothes in the same car
The same man but a new start

And oh
I don’t wanna go
Won’t you say something to make this place my home
For now
I don’t wanna go
When there’s nothing to do but pack my clothes
For now
So long

This guy writes his lyrics with a feather and ink

[leourrrrr]

dude this is SICK!!! The colour scheme, outfits and just the overall vibe is so cool!! super proud of you mate <3

[chiseledcake]

Don't know how but James is consistently dropping bangers, really shows how far you've evolved from slow down.

[riversng]

I have been screaming the lyrics to this non stop for the past 48 hours - everytime you release a new song I'm like "no no THIS ONE is the best" then you just outdo yourself time and time again! Love you james, so proud of you and your band x

[AlfredoTheRipoff]

This song is too short to be named ‘So long’ WE NEED A 4 HOUR LOOP, JAMES!!

[kofirenvods]

God this is the most beautiful and well done song I’ve seen by James so far and its so clear how much he himself enjoys the song

[phizz]

THIS SONG HAS BLESSED MY EARS!! you have come so far james and the whole community is so so proud of you and your journey <3 you are so awesome and have been such a huge part of my life and the way i consume content.

thank you for everything xxx

[uperscors]

No one holds a guitar like James Marriott, I'll tell you that much for free. Easily one of the top 10 greatest guitar holders of all time. The song is a fucking belter as well

[LT]

Can't believe a YouTuber makes music this genuinely good. Dude is multi talented

[tommymonaghan]

It’s utterly mad how you went from being one of the E Boys to one of the best indie artists in the UK scene. Damn boi so cool 😭

[RadleyNOTBradly]

I’m playing this song on the drums at the school music festival in a couple weeks but there’s no drums cover videos 😂 ❤

[sagesgrapes]

SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP KICKING MY LEGS, JUMPING OFF THAT CLIFF

[jimbomyboy]

WHAT THE FUCK IT'S ALREADY BEEN 7 MONTHS SINCE THIS SONG CAME OUT? That means I've been listening to it on repeat for over half a year, hell yeah

[aarutahc]

This song helps me cry better i dunno why. i fucking love the music and james your voice is perfect man. please never stop making music

[Picobits]

2:09 I can't believe you guys were able to find 3 identical James Marriott lookalikes to help perform the video with you, that's so cool

[isaacC]

To go from Slow Down to this in 3 years is pretty amazing

[yveltalstar]

why is it that every single song that gets released everyone just collectively says "nevermind, THIS is the best one." and it's a never ending cycle

[HollsterPlays]

SUCH A BANGER MAN SO PROUD OF YOU KING!! ❤

[kaimorg]

i’ve been SO excited for this song and !! wow!! the whole band and especially james seem so much more confident with their sound and you can tell, it’s electric !!

[lola-snbu]

THE OH-OOHH-OH-OH PART IS SO GOOD AHHH
