Can You Hear Us At The Back Video (MV)

Sitting on a pavement
Outside a house that really looks like it could be home
No one's home
They've all gone away on holiday and left us behind

Promise me you'll sit here and sing the words to our favourite teenage songs that I forgot
I'll just play guitar and harmonise until we blow our voices out and every word becomes a faded squeaky shout.

Can you hear us at the back?
Can you hear us at the back?
We're screaming as loud as we can

So it looks like I'll be spending the night
Even though I don't have my sleeping bag
My backpack
My toothbrush, toothpaste, socks and boxer shorts

It still beats sleeping in the car
And if you stay I'll pour you a drink and we can raise a glass
Yo that time we watched our favourite band and then formed a band so we could be like them and blow our voices out

Can you hear us at the back?
Can you hear us at the back?
We're screaming as loud as we can

I know you'll leave before we play
But you still came
And I don't mind, time is finite
I'll find that out someday
We'll mix mixed metaphors with chords we have to play
And try convince the kids we still have things to say

Can you hear us at the back?
Can you hear us at the back?
We're screaming as loud as we can

So please don't leave without us
