Dear Justin, I know it's been a long time   Remember all those nights we spent sitting up talking in your front room   About leaving this worn out world and starting again far away in a better place   Well that's where I am now - but still thinking about you       Chorus:   I'm never going back there   I'm never going back to the bad old world      I was travelling with Laurel way up on the north coast   She's got family living up here in a nearby town   We found a piece of land that looks out towards    the north sea islands across the bay   And the sun is shining on the water today as I look out of our front door       Chorus:   I'm never going back there   I'm never going back to the bad old world      Are you still scared of the future? Well, that doesn't surprise me   You could come up and stay here a while, back off from the killing wheel   I used to think it was me who'd somehow sold out    or given in on some almighty cause,   But what difference would it make? It feels good to be out here.       Chorus:   I'm never going back there   I'm never going back to the bad old world
