Album: You're A Man Now, Boy (2016)

I Can Change

See, I like drinking 'til I get blind drunk
Black out and lash out and act like a punk
Crush through town with my fake ID
End up face-down, am I in too deep?
Hungover, bed-bound soldier
Hand runs over the dip in her shoulder
With her, I see things clear
Lose my mind, I lose my fear
Though my life so far is bleary
I'll be fine if I keep her near me
I don't need the fights and tears
I don't even like my peers
We're so far away from here
We're so far away from here

When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me

See, I'm a madman when it comes to getting loud
I'm not a badman, but I'll still knock you out
"Oi listen, don't try it"
Triple JD, fuck a diet
See, my lady, she's an angel
She's a rock star, but she stays low
She got eyes that could melt the entire population
But I get tired of them
This situation just ain't enough
I don't wanna change her, I wanna make her
Prepare her, so she can see that this world we live in
Can be fucking tough
I mean it though, this world is cold
Only the brave survive when they sell their souls
This is my odyssey
I just hope she can keep up with me
This is my calling
It's a shame I'm susceptible to falling

When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me

Mr Officer, let me tell you how the night went
This is really not how I want the night spent
I got a chick at home waiting for me
With a smile and a mug of green tea
See, uh, she's holding me down, I'm a bit of a mess
She's a 10 and I'm proud, anyway - I digress
I'm a man of values
Yes, I might have dropped one or two Valium
Look, I don't wanna rot, I'm just a casual abuser
Sorry, user, don't be confused, sir
Not being rude, sir, just wanna go home
Look, I choose her, leave this life in the dust, I'mma lose her
I'm a loser, I'm a fucking loser, and I'mma lose her, I'mma lose her

When I think about my baby
I get a bit insecure
I need to be seen as a little bit more mature
Can't live without my baby, I'm sure
I can change
I can change
I just wanna get rid of all the excess pain
Everything's out to stop things going my way
She's the only thing to save me
