Lyrics

Just a Boy

Something or nothing
Creeps in under my skin
Controlling our fate
Don't let it win, take it on the chin

Falling, sinking
Was I right believing?
I'm trapped in my skin
Just take it off

I'm just a boy but I'll be a better man
Tick all the boxes so you don't understand
I'm just a boy but I'll be a better man
Tick all the boxes so you don't understand

I'm just a boy but I'll be a better man
Tick all the boxes so you don't understand
I'm just a boy but I'll be a better man
Tick all the boxes so you don't understand

How does he look so good?
How does he look so good?
How does he look so good?
How does he look so good?
How does he look so good?
How does he look so good?
How does he look so good?
How does he look so good?
