Rounders

Yeah Won't meet anyone sat in on my own But I'm sick of feeling lost Live together, die alone Stop and stare at all the banners as they flutter on my phone Can't remember any dates but my god I'm feeling old None from her, some from them, one from him I got the group chat laughing as the world caves in I got the real ones shouting "let the migrants in" Yeah And I wish was I was a kid playing rounders in the street Got my mum calling out "Wash your hands, eat your tea" Like first base, second, rent day beckons And I wish was I was a kid playing rounders in the street Got my mum calling out "Wash your hands, eat your tea" Like first base, second, rent day beckons And why'd you have to go and make things so complicated? Because I spend each wage, never made enough to save it And so I, sit alone and watch the news at six Cost of living creeping up, the clock tocks and ticks Yeah I fall asleep but it never really sticks 'Cos I wake up every hour, and I scratch myself to bits Like, say your prayers yeah Crucifix When the shelf falls down, no screw to fix You've got to many don't on your to-do-list We're all broke up like Weetabix That's why I wish I was a kid again Yeah And I wish was I was a kid playing rounders in the street Got my mum calling out "Wash your hands, eat your tea" Like first base, third, my place, hers, lines drawn blurred And I wish was I was a kid playing rounders in the street Got my mum calling out "Wash your hands, eat your tea" Like first base, third, lines drawn blurred My place, hers And I'm like "Yeah man no worries if not" I'm just a tiny manifesto in a swipeable box hits the rocks Astronomical cost, I better pull up my socks But it's the limelight that blinds if it all ends tomorrow We'll have to feign my surprise, double cheeseburger, regular fries And your milkshake-shake-shake the truth Before your eyes and you take-take your youth With all the lies That's why I wish I was a kid again And I wish was I was a kid playing rounders in the street Got my mum calling out "Wash your hands, eat your tea" Like first base, fourth, my place, yours, rat race course And I wish was I was a kid playing rounders in the street Got my mum calling out "Wash your hands, eat your tea" Like first base, fourth, my place, yours, rat race course Yeah That's why I wish I was a kid again See you when the time's right You know I'll see you in the sunshine
