Lyrics:
The whole town’s been stood here in a line
The same shit for the sixteenth fucking time
I’m not down, I'm just waiting for a sign
My brain sits right at the borderline
Oh oh
It’s all safe and swell for the lucky few
Who don’t care to take much note of you
Clean my hands with the lasting residue
A new place in this decrepit field of view
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
I don’t wanna go
Won’t you say something to make this place my home
For now
I don’t wanna go
When there’s nothing to do but pack my clothes
For now
So long
It doesn’t look like I’ll be going further
I’ll pick a hole that I’ve festered in before
A pit so dark that I can’t observe her
I’ll crawl so far that you won’t hear me anymore
Oh oh
Oh oh
Oh oh
I don’t wanna go
Won’t you say something to make this place my home
For now
I don’t wanna go
When there’s nothing to do but pack my clothes
For now
So long
The same woes and the same scars
The same tones at the same part
The same moans from the same heart
The same goes that he’ll go far
The same girls at the same bars
The same walls and the same art
The same clothes in the same car
The same man but a new start
And oh
I don’t wanna go
Won’t you say something to make this place my home
For now
I don’t wanna go
When there’s nothing to do but pack my clothes
For now
So long

[@rivers0ng]

I have been screaming the lyrics to this non stop for the past 48 hours - everytime you release a new song I'm like "no no THIS ONE is the best" then you just outdo yourself time and time again! Love you james, so proud of you and your band x

Don't know how but James is consistently dropping bangers, really shows how far you've evolved from slow down.

@Caitlin Theresa bro what? You do understand that gabbie hanna has been like irrelevant since 2014? James did a few videos on her for A LAUGH and clearly stated that everything he said was a joke. “Read the room”. Nobody asked.

[@notantweenie]

I'm so confused what does she have to do with any of this💀

Dear parents, just because your child is smiling at their phone, doesn't mean they have boyfriend or girlfriend, they are just watching this masterpiece.

And cause I'm watching James Marriott streams

[@A.J.T16]

That was a damn awesome MV!!! I love the lighting, the spotlight on James and the red lights, it also makes the camera shots with just James look sick with the backing of the red light! Speaking of love the camera shots throughout the entire music video! And the editing is so good, fits the vibes of the song. And they smashed every shot they were in! Just perfection!! The song in general is a banger!!! Listening to it on repeat! It’s epic!!! That final chorus every time is just chills bro! Can’t wait for more! If you read all this GO STREAM SO LONG!

[@AlfredoTheRipoff]

This song is too short to be named ‘So long’ WE NEED A 4 HOUR LOOP, JAMES!!

[@samluvs_4820]

LOVE IT

SUCH A BANGER MAN SO PROUD OF YOU KING!! ❤

[@imallpha]

this is utterly incredible james, you have grown so much in your career it’s insane, and everything you make is like such an incredible gift, thank you for being so so amazing and i hope you go far with this new starting of an EP :)

[@kaimorg]

i’ve been SO excited for this song and !! wow!! the whole band and especially james seem so much more confident with their sound and you can tell, it’s electric !!

[@tommymonaghan1697]

It’s utterly mad how you went from being one of the E Boys to one of the best indie artists in the UK scene. Damn boi so cool 😭

[@rialvjy]

the visuals, the colour scheme, the outfits…one of the best music videos I’ve seen in a while! fkn incredible

[@pungim8mmi]

AHHHH, I have said it before and I will say it again - the song absolutely slaps, I love it so much, I will be blasting it all summer, vibing to it in my room. Now this is a song I would love to scream the lyrics back at a gig or something and then laugh next morning when my voice is gone from having fun. I am loving the music video as well, the lighting and the red tones and all, it really gives the vibes of the song so well. I rlly like the shots where its like...how tf i say it in english...ya know the shots where its loke blurred, and like four shots at once, fk. my expectation level is 0. But like these shots were great, vibe levels maximised.

LOVE THE MUSIC JAMES I AM SO PROUD OF YOU💕💗🤩

[@orpheusmusic_]

JAMES HAS MADE ANOTHER BANGER🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@asdadwsdasdwsa]

this is such a good song jamesdoesmining

[@bethanyw6480]

It makes me so happy to see James's music evolve and just get better and better. The vocals in this are truly phenomenal. The belted notes have so much passion and beautiful tone - raspy and grungy but still tuneful and emotional. I love the instrumentals too - the powerful baseline mixed with the drums and rhythm guitar have this excellent sense of overpowering instinct. And OMFG the vocal harmonies are so perfectly performed and mixed and add so much! The videography too - the atmosphere and lighting created matches the vibe of the song so well. I've loved seeing how James has changed over the years and truly dive into things that clearly he's more passionate about. Jim - if ur reading this - we're all proud of you and you're so insanely talented

You're genuinely, wholeheartedly such an inspiration and I'm so proud of your journey thus far. I'm an absolutely massive fan of you and your work and it continues to make me keep trying harder and harder to improve my own music skills. Your first EP inspired me to take my first big musical step and here we all are over two years later, I continue to look up at you like this. I can't wait for your album, I am positively BUZZING dude, seriously

This song is amazing! I am so proud of how far you have come, and how dedicated you have been to improving your voice and writing! This song really reflects how much work you've been putting in and how passionate you are about music, and it slaps so fucking hard, as does the music video! I really hope i'll manage to be able to come to one of your gigs soon, and see you perform live!
