Back in 95. A little boy from just outside of London. Took a fated trip across the ocean. And little did he know. That he would find. His voice in verse and Making wishes on his broken stereo.
Oh my God, I'm such a terrible mess. I'm turned on by the tabloids. You would never have guessed. . That I'm a sucker for their gossip. Man, I take it too far.
Hips sway and lips lie. Like clockwork, she's in control. Of all the right guys. And I'm still waiting. . Fitting nights with a car alarm. In her high tops with her favorite song.
Wishing on a star that's just a satellite. Driving in a car with broken tail-lights. Growing up with eyes glued shut. . Wishing on a star that's just a satellite.
Only a quitter. Would let it go.. I'm your fool in a one-man show.. I was so bitter,. 'Til you came along.. You set my sails when the tide was low.. .
Get me out of this place. Before I cause more damage. A small price to pay. For building houses out of matchsticks. And when things get too hot. You've got me to blame for.
Oh no, look what you've done. That's me, the victim of our hit'n'run. Picked up and let down. You were never as you led on. . You said, 'just friends, and no strings'.
You've got me poppin' champagne. I'm at it again. Caught up in the moment. But not in the right way. I'm falling in between. Tearing up at the seams. We're just aiming to please.
He woke up from dreaming and put on his shoes. Started making his way past two in the morning. He hasn't been sober for days. . Leaning now into the breeze.
I've got a house in the back of my head. But I can't find a permanent resident. 'Cause the markets down. And the area's not so good these days. . I've got a watch but I don't have time.
I half remembered, half way across the wall. Twice removed from a second own. The shadow of a ghost in an old horn. Where the leafs found life cause I cant afford to own.
Strange maze, what is this place?. I hear voices over my shoulder,. Nothing's making sense at all.. Wonder, why do we race?. When everyday we're runnin' in circles,.
I half remembered, half way across the world. Twice removed from a second home. The shadow of a ghost in an old haunt. With a lease on my life 'cause I can't afford to own.
When I was younger. I was certain. That I'd be fine without a queen. Just a king inside is castle. With an ocean in between. . Now all I do is sit. Count the miles from you to me.
In the dark there's a light that's callin' everyone out. If you could see beyond the walls that you have built. ah-ah-ah. I know that it's hard to escape the past and start it again.
I was dreamin' we were running from a city burning down, down, down.. Made a break, a new escape, and let the world crash, down, down, down.. Now there's a piece of me.
Think about it 'till anticipation makes you shake and we both lose control.. Put the pedal to the floor, lay the seat back, lock the doors,. we're gonna make this worth our while..
Paint yourself a picture.. Something perfectly obscure.. To hide away the messes. behind your manicure.. . And all of my obsessing to find the perfect words..
I heard that you've been. Self-medicating in the quiet of your room. It's sweet suburban tomb. And if you need a friend. I'll help you stitch up your wounds.
I said I'd never forget your face. vaulted away inside my head. and memories never seem to fade. you were the best part of my life... my last regret. .
