Red Brick Paradise

[Verse 1]

Find your diaries

Pull apart the plastic

Let's get all nostalgic

We should think about

When we were fifteen, wondering what it all means

And we still don't know

Garden shed talk

Trying to shake the week off

Smoking on a see-saw

Never think about anything at all outside of our little world

And all the ten guys go out with the ten girls, oh

[Pre-Chorus]

I wanna know why

We let the whole thing pass us by

[Chorus]

I don't want to know what fear feels like

Oh, I just wanna live forever

In this red brick paradise

Oh, I don't ever wanna know what real life feels like

Oh, I just wanna live forever

In this red brick paradise

[Verse 2]

Every Friday, someone's in a right state

Gotta learn the hard way

Only think about pulling all-nighters

Can I borrow your lighter?

Four cans for a fiver

But shit, I miss it

Oh, no one wants to stay here

But no one wants to leave

I think we'll be in trouble if we burst our little bubble, boy

I don't know what to believe, to believe, to believe

[Chorus]

Oh, I don't want to know what fear feels like

Oh, I just wanna live forever

In this red brick paradise

Oh, I don't ever wanna know what real life feels like

Oh, I just wanna live forever

In this red brick paradise

[Bridge]

One night, when it got dark

I went back to our park

And oh dear

It was awkward, and it felt weird

So I got up, and I walked round

To your house and the church grounds

There was no one to call for

So I just knocked on my own door

Oh, I just knocked on my own door

[Chorus]

I don't want to know what fear feels like

Oh, I just wanna live forever

In this red brick paradise

Oh, I don't ever wanna know what real life feels like

Oh, I just wanna live forever

In this red brick paradise

This red brick paradise

[Outro]

One night, when it got dark

I went back to our park

And it felt wrong

That life went on when we were gone
