Sunsets over the beaches from now on

Each day looking for new ways to go on
CORUS

Maybe I soulde have droped by maybe I should have called
A E G D
Maybe I sould have followed you and beat down your door
A E G D
Maybe its gonna be breaking you by the time that you fall
E F# D D
But to shower you with pity will do you no good at all, no good at all

No way of measuring each day until its gone

Regret tied around my chest plays its part
(CHORUS REPEAT)

Watching the sunset,sunset,sunset,sunset
A E G D
Over the beaches,beaches,beaches,beaches
(two times)

| p.s. bernard is the nicest guy you'll ever meet, so friendly and obliging, took pictures and signed everything for me after i waited to meet him after the powderfinger and silverchair concert! when you really listen to vulture street and the lyrics, its actually really sad...makes me want to hug him haha. | |

| i think its definately about his brother because i read somewhere that bernard was having to travel with powderfinger alot while his brother was sick and didnt get to spend much time with him, hence the lyrics "Maybe I should drop by maybe I should have called Maybe I should have followed you and beat down your door" also alot of the songs on vulture street were about bernard and his life, and dealing with his brothers death. | |

| This Is What It Means To Me... Slow burn watching the world turn from my arms: They Were Going Out, He Broke Up With Her, And She Didnt Take It That Well. Now He Must Watch The World By Himself, && Not In HER Arms. Maybe I should drop by maybe I should have called: Now Hes Thinking He Maybe Should Of Handled It Better. Like Tried To Be There For Her Still && Help Her Move On. But Then He Realises That To Shower Her With Pity Will Just Make It Worse. Maybe it's gonna be breaking you every time you fall: He Thinks That If He Cannot Get Over This, How Is She Ever Ganna Move On In Life. Regret tight around my chest plays its part: He Does Reconize That Maybe He Shouldnt Of Done It Or Whatever, && He Does Regret It. Now we're watching the sunset Over the beaches: Even Though He May Regret It, He Is Still Moving On With His Life && Thinks She Should Do the Same. Hes Looking At The Better Things Of Life. | |

| I'm 99 percent sure this is about Bernard Fanning's brother dying of cancer. | |

| To me the line "But to shower you with pity will do you no good at all - no good at all" is a pretty good indication it's about his brother.. | |

| I love this song. It also causes me to nearly be brought to tears every time. I guess it is a song of hope as well, because after losing someone, life still does go on. Sunsets still happen. Maybe seeing life in a different view as well, "New way of measuring each day ". | |
