You were standing outside the bus stop
I drove past in a brand new Range
And then suddenly it hit me, I flashed back and I saw your face
It's too late, I can't pull over now
And if I did, what would I say?
It's been 25 years since school, about 18 since you left the estate
And I know that life's not treating you great
'Cause I heard from a, well, I don't want to say mutual, mate
But he walked past you outside the Asda
You were sat on the floor and he asked you
If you wanted anything and you just said, "I'm alright"
Kyle
I know it's been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets, they don't hold the change
The change you really need
I pulled up to a nice warm house and I felt so guilty
Should I turn back round? Why do I feel so guilty?
Wasn't my fault, we were both born with the same blueprint
In the same streets, in the same town, in the same size house
Look around, and you soon think
Why me, not you? And why you, not them?
'Cause a couple didn't get past 18
And a few we know are doing time again
So swings and roundabouts, tell me what's your whereabouts
'Cause I still want to help you out
Kyle
I know it's been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets, they don't hold the change
The change you really need
I walked in and I sat on the sofa
Grabbed the laptop, plugged in the microphone
And that's pretty much where I am now
Sunday and I'm all alone
But I know she'll be back soon, and I know that she loves me
And I'll tell her about this, and she'll know why it bugs me
And she'll say that I've got a big heart
And you can't help everybody, Jonny don't blame you
It's been 25 years or more, so you're basically a stranger
And you never saw me, so you don't know what you're missing
But I'll find you and buy you a coffee and just listen
Kyle
I know it's been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets, they don't hold the change
The change you really need
Kyle
I know its been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets, they don't hold the change
The change you really need lies deep in you
The change you really need lies deep in you
