LYRICS
As a young man
I thought I knew everything
I thought I knew how to live
Completely clueless
When two thousand and five was the worst year of my life
You made it good
When I thought no-one could

But I was just a boy when I met you
Shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to

On the night you left
I heard everything you’d say
I crumbled and crawled away
I woke up in an alleyway

Cos that night I raised my fist and in my fist I raised my drink
I drank to broken limbs
To bloodied lips
To losing all you thought you wanted

But I was just a boy when I met you
I shouldn’t have let you in but I wanted to
It was two thousand and five I thought this loss might be my life
Oh but I was just a boy when I met you

Seventeen and you think you know it all
Nineteen and you think you know it all
But I knew

I was just a boy when I met you.

about

Tellison London, UK

Tellison is a failed minor league indie rock band from London with acute organisational difficulties. They've released three albums and a bunch of singles.

Back in 2015 Tellison dusted off their guitars and referencing conventions, stepped up to take another swing at, if not the big time, at least the medium time and released "Hope Fading Nightly".

Things never quite go to plan.
