Toowong by The Mangroves Lyrics
[Verse 1]
They said they're gonna move out
Growing out of college now
It's time to leave the Village
What am I to do now?
All my friends have moved south
To the Gabba or Sydney
It's a Wednesday night, I'm alone and I'm wasted
The people are the same but the faces are changing
I'll buy you a beer if I can sit at your table
Wait... I'm the weird old guy at the RE
[Chorus]
Don't wait to wait too long
Before I leave Toowong
Don't want to wait too long
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine
[Verse 2]
I was hero in thеse places
I knew all thе faces
Now people avoid me
Is it time to leave this sharehouse?
Get a job off-campus now?
Should I leave the Village?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm alone at Regatta at 3 on a Monday
My friends are all dead and their kids have all blocked me
Maybe I should pack up and move to Sydney?
But traffic's worse than Coro Drive
[Chorus]
Don't wait to wait too long
Before I leave Toowong
Don't want to wait too long
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Don't wait to wait too long
Before I leave Toowong
Don't want to wait too long
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine
They said they're gonna move out
Growing out of college now
It's time to leave the Village
What am I to do now?
All my friends have moved south
To the Gabba or Sydney
It's a Wednesday night, I'm alone and I'm wasted
The people are the same but the faces are changing
I'll buy you a beer if I can sit at your table
Wait... I'm the weird old guy at the RE
[Chorus]
Don't wait to wait too long
Before I leave Toowong
Don't want to wait too long
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine
[Verse 2]
I was hero in thеse places
I knew all thе faces
Now people avoid me
Is it time to leave this sharehouse?
Get a job off-campus now?
Should I leave the Village?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I'm alone at Regatta at 3 on a Monday
My friends are all dead and their kids have all blocked me
Maybe I should pack up and move to Sydney?
But traffic's worse than Coro Drive
[Chorus]
Don't wait to wait too long
Before I leave Toowong
Don't want to wait too long
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine
[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Don't wait to wait too long
Before I leave Toowong
Don't want to wait too long
But I'll be fine
But I'll be fine
