The Moments I’m Missing (Stripped Version)

[Verse 1]

I had a dream, I had a dream when I was only five

To work at a bar, I wanted to see over the other side

And I had a friend, her name was Fern and she had a blue bike

So we'd ride through the streets

And I would sleep over on Saturday nights

Then I went to school, my family moved to a village nearby

At thirteen years old, I started drawing black under my eyes

'Cause I met a boy, first time I kissed him, well it was the last

'Cause I got afraid when everyone there started moving too fast

[Pre-Chorus]

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I never took in when

I was just standing there wishing

I could grow up and my life would be different

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been so caught in the motions

Forgetting right where my home is

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

These are the moments I'm missing

[Verse 2]

In the back of her mum's car, on the way to the old bars, yeah

Raising my anxiety, using her sister's ID, yeah

In a skin-tight short skirt, sixteen and we danced till our feet hurt

But I had a dream, I had a goal

Got a guitar and a camera phone

Then over the time, I started racking up numbers online

At the end of July, I met somebody who changed my life

And then I was signed and falling in love for the very first time

But that fucked me up, so then I had issues with falling in love

[Pre-Chorus]

These are the moments I'm missing

There are the moments I never took in when

I was just standing there wishing

I could grow up and my life would be different

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been so caught in the motions

Forgetting right where my home is

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

These are the moments I'm missing

[Bridge]

Ah-ah

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ah

Now these are the moments I'm missing

[Chorus]

'Cause I've been so caught in the motions

Forgotten right where my home is

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

These are the moments I'm missing

'Cause I've been so caught in the motions

Forgotten where my home is

Oh, yeah

Now these are the moments I'm missing

[Outro]

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I'm missing

These are the moments I'm missing
