lyrics

Back at the yard by the braai

Plastic chairs lined up by the gate outside

Your cousin still leaning on the white hatchback

Same chipped blue mug, same bitter taste I had

You laughed that laugh, I knew it fast

Old songs came through the cracked glass

We looked the same in the bright room glow

But the same old bruise was under the show

Same old faces

Same old faces

Same old faces

Same old faces

And that hurt me

Uncle's radio on the metal shelf

Two-step on the tiles, nobody helped

Your new shirt crease, my old black shoes

Same sharp words in the same old room

You said, "It's been time," I said, "I know"

Then the room went quiet, moving slow

Your hand on the bottle, my eyes on the floor

Nothing fixed itself when you walked through the door

Same old faces

Same old faces

Same old faces

Same old faces

And that hurt me

Half past seven, the kettle hiss

I watched your smile and I watched the twist

We came back close, but not back new

Just the same hurt sitting in view

Same old faces

Same old faces

Same old faces

Same old faces

And that hurt me
