"Little Street" was written over a year now, not half a year ago as the song says. It's a little, sentimental song about being unable to let go, despite efforts to change and move on.
lyrics
It's been a while since then
Half a year's gone by
I hide it in the corner
But it always catches my eye
Maybe it was the way I spoke
Too afraid to speak my mind
Maybe I wasn't strong enough
Too afraid of what I'd find
So I go, so I go, to a land that is unknown
So I change, so I change, but things remain the same
So I walk down to the little street
Where we were supposed to meet
And though time's passed by, I still wonder why
I can't really let go of you
I guess I don't want to let go too soon
I tell all my friends not to say your name
The wound it's cut is too deep
I'd love to say that it's helped me out
But I still find it hard to sleep
Cos the wound it's cut is too deep
