[bad word] 

i feel it, it’s slipping away

cause’ kids arent kids forever

but it feels like yesterday

when everything was simple

it’s slipping away

cause’ kids arent kids forever

but it feels like yesterday

Verse one:

thinking ‘bout previous days

when i was on shifts in the pizza place

and i was putting soap on my pizza face

all the girls with the butts in the jeans i’d chase

and i keep chasing more  with everything i saw

i said i’d do the right thing instead of being wrong

said i’d be a rich man instead of being poor

things just aren’t how they’re meant to be at all

tell me when did everything get [bad word] 

we used to talk but now [bad word] 

i used to picture what i wanted

and they’d say you can have it all but not yet

my mums emailing me am i too busy

for the woman who raised me friends that grew with me

cats in the cradle raise the new kitty

can we can get another ticket this goes too quickly man

Pre [bad word] 

sometimes i get overwhelmed

but i  breathe deep and i tell myself

remember the kid you are

remember the kid you are

sometimes i get overwhelmed

when im stressed out and im not myself

remember to kid you are

Verse 2:

i remember racking at the shops once a day

pocket full of dreams thats just a phase

another year passed i don’t wanna cut the cake

my old man telling me ill see tougher days

just lights whizzing by try catch the number plate

keys in the slot still trying to pump the breaks 

we are just animals, we are just some apes

the city is a jungle so its all fun and games

and me i swing around like a wind chime

look all of our looks’ll fade in time

despite magazines and what you think right now

beauties only really on the inside

they tell me all it is  is a big ride

things get really dark before it hits light

one day i’ll make kids of my own

and i’ll tell em stay a kid when your grown
