Postman

[Verse 1]

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

I don’t think I’ve had my aspirations through the post yet

Or forgot them years ago..

“Could you ask me another time?

I’m still not sure yet” – 25, 2016

Is the quote I'll repeat until I die

[Verse 2]

I used to be such a promising boy

If I'd applied myself I'd probably be an astronaut

At least I never act my age so people don't expect much from me, if at all

The blame is heavy if it's mine

So I say this is all I need

[Chorus]

If happiness is a portable 16 track home studio

Then I guess I’m happy most the time

I just need something for when I'm outside

And in the events where I close my eyes

Self aware but paralysed

How do people find the time?

They find success

They enjoy their lives

[Bridge]

I used to be such a promising boy

If I'd applied myself I'd probably be a hypocrite

I used to be so much less of a prick

I used to have dreams that were realistic

Now I don't know what I need

[Verse 3]

But I've always wanted to be a postman

I told them that at the interview

But I think my genuine ardor

Must have been misconstrued

As sarcasm when in reality id never meant something so much

And I still check the Royal Mail website

With eyes adorned in a glaze of lust

But it's just a dream, it couldn't be, I'm just an average

[Outro]

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman

Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman
