I Do This All The Time

Look up, lean back, be strong You didn't think you'd live this long Be as one, hold on, steady stand For as long as you think you can Old habits die for a couple of weeks And then I start doing them again This sun is making me feel like I'm missing out on something But if I went to your barbecue I'd feel uncomfortable and not be sure what to say anyway It's like when I go to your birthday Drinks to congratulate you being the age I already thought you were Or not, I don't know It's a miracle, I've remembered at all When I'm buried in the ground I won't be able to make your birthday drinks But I will still feel guilty You see, when the air warms up like this It brings every single memory of you back And it makes me so sick, I can't breathe Except I'm still breathing, aren't I? Sometimes I think that's the problem So look up, lean back, be strong You didn't think you'd live this long Be as one, hold on, steady stand For as long as you think you can Be very careful out there Stop trying to have so many friends Don't be intimidated by all the babies they have Don't be embarrassed that all you've had is fun Prioritise pleasure Don't send those long paragraph texts Stop it, don't Getting married isn't the biggest day of your life All the days that you get to have are big Be wary of the favours that they do for you (They'll tell you I'm wrong, they'll tell you) I do this all the time (They'll tell you I'm wrong, they'll tell you) I do this all the time So look up, lean back, be strong You didn't think you'd live this long Be as one, hold on, steady stand For as long as you think you can All you need to do, darling, is fit in that little dress of yours If you weren't doing this you'd be working in McDonald's So try and cheer up, I'm not sure You're moving around too much, you need to stand still Be more like Mairead Stop showing off You're a good girl You're a good, tall girl You're a good, sturdy girl One day I would love to tell you How the best night of your life Was the absolute worst of mine So look up, lean back, be strong You didn't think you'd live this long Be as one, hold on, steady stand For as long as you think you can Now and again you make complete sense But most of the time I'm sat here feeling stupid for trying My hunger times, my impatience equals the problem You're beautiful and I want the best for you But I also hope you fail without me It was really rather miserable trying to love you I'll take care, I'll read again, I'll sing again, I will I'll take care, I'll read again, I'll sing again, I will We laid there in the darkness and you were asleep And I wasn't checking my phone for a moment and I felt...
