Boy

[Verse 1] He can't make sense of this He's just too normal This place is too scary He's so scared that he'll miss It keeps him in hiding And restless and wanting [Verse 2] What if for one minute He's given a chance And he does something brilliant? But he'd rather not know His walls protective His bedroom's a prison [Chorus] Now is your chance, boy Just ignore the dreadful things they say Go on, give up, you'll never win No crying now, they're watching him His blood will boil, the kids will sing Learn to drown before you learn to swim [Verse 3] If he took his time to prepare Stepped out of his shell Alone's an addiction Such a comforting place A common mistake A dry wishing well [Chorus] Now is your chance, boy Just ignore the dreadful things they say Go on, give up, you'll never win No crying now, they're watching him His blood will boil, the kids will sing Learn to drown before you learn to swim So go on, give up, you'll never win [Bridge] Oh, what a mistake He is charcoal within He could never do right by them He stands on the stage with a grin But he drops on his knees And is waiting for anything he can believe in He's lost, he just wants to be ordinary [Chorus] Now is your chance, boy Just ignore the dreadful things they say Go on, give up, you'll never win No crying now, they're watching him His blood will boil, the kids will sing Learn to drown before you learn to swim [Outro] Go on, give up, you'll never win No crying now, they're watching him His blood will boil, the kids will sing Learn to drown before you learn to swim Go on, give up, you'll never win No crying now, they're watching him His blood will boil, the kids will sing Learn to drown before you learn to swim Go on, give up, you'll never win No crying now, they're watching him Go on, give up, you'll never win
