Turn on a light so it burns in the night 
Turned down the  flight , the world is uncertain 
I’m certain by the curtains tonight 
You will not know but grow, we will not dare 
We’ll always smile and care and play with your hair 
Got to reverse the pattern, what’s the worst that could happen? 
For the first time in my adulthood the worst that could happen 
Is utterly unthinkable, sinking unsaid dread 
Suddenly I’m worried about the bread under the bead 
But then all sorts of awful [bad word] seems plausible indoors 
Precautions get warped into the worst of the certain 
You’re growing thumbs, I’m going numb 
Touching to your mum lips like it might be quite fun

blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be 
blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be

Black and white blotches to watch and not get 
And then flashes of sense along with your body and head 
It is all as simple as you think when you were little 
It is all as simple as me sinking a little drink 
You’re growing nails, mind is so nailed 
I’m drinking your mother’s wine for both of us today 
You don’t know choice but you know my voice 
You should never have chosen me, I've lovelike a boy 
The world’s so dark sometimes, the noise of the cars 
Building a world filled up with toys and stars

blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be 
blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be

You will dance and every sound, footfall, every little move 
Before you've realised that not every sound is a music 
My dad raised these thoughts, he paced these boards 
I never knew, I just grew, that's all you can do 
And then growing into an adult is just learning the language 
Of explaining with words what you were as a baby 
You’ll leisurely learn how to lie and pretend 
To service your love and rely on your friends 
This could be fraud but it’s all I got taught 
And I don’t want to make it up as I go along with yours

blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be 
blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be

blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be 
blip on a screen, you don’t know me 
I think about you and what you will grow to be

I fix and I plan but this is just mad 
I love you, you’re only a hundred pixels on a scan
