lyrics

Somebody told me today
Just to hold on a little bit longer
But that's all that I seem to do
And getting nowhere for it
Walking the same road
Wearing my boots out
Constantly striving for something
Not really sure if it even exists
I guess it's not the winning that counts
Just the partaking of the game

There are always doors that won't open
And ditches too wide to jump
Trees without low branches
And walls too high to see over
We break the surface like dolphins
Life giving air being gasped into lungs
But with a morbid fascination we dive down

Everyone seems to be moving so fast
Leaving you choking
In the dust cloud left behind them
It feels like you raced to the station
The train you wanted is heading off in the distance
Saving up money for something
Only to find it's got more expensive
If at first you don't succeed then try, try again

There will always be whispers from somewhere
Distracting, turning you off course
Because you've been left behind
Don't fret
They can always come back for you

Acoustic Country/folk Punk probably describes me best at the moment

"A spring heeled, iron lunged avalanche of energy and melody.
Wob's sound is a glorious and intelligent blend of punk, pop and folk."
