Highfield

I can't believe you're walking down here to pick me up with our friend And I've only slept and showered since you walked me home again I could spend all my time with you and you know I wouldn't mind one bit You want me to stay safe but I wanna forget the world for the evening I'm gonna take self-defense so don't worry yourself 'bout me I'll only leave the house without getting changed once in a while But therе's nothing like a red dress on a cloudy day in thе park Makes the birds sing a little louder, makes my heartbeat a little prouder But each time I reach my door, shaking screams from my head and rivers from my eyes Take my makeup off for a work call and try to forget about the road outside I wish the whole world was Highfield, I wish it stretched right to my door And over Broom Lane with its cars and its horns and its shouts and the staring I wish the whole world was Highfield overgrowing red bricks in the sun Along Watts Street sun against the catkins against bare branches against the high clouds
