If We Were Kids

Soon as you're born they call you free
To work two jobs and never leave the country
For a week in the sun
Is it all you've won?
It's alright, you can stay there when you're seventy
So take something away, now.
If we were kids again,
Would we still pretend,
or would we be kicking off?
Cause I,
if I was seventeen
and knowing what I mean,
I'm sure I'd be kicking off.
All our green's on the weekend coming soon,
Our clear beer bottles look nice against the moon,
Is it all we can boast?
We've got a caravan by the coast.
So take something away, now.
If we were kids again,
Would we still pretend,
or would we be kicking off?
Cause I,
if I was seventeen
and knowing what I mean,
I'm sure I'd be kicking off.

Now I know what the world's been waiting for, honey
You and I as we bounce up on the second floor, on it.
I don't know how you feel but I know how I feel about you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
What would you do if I just flew right back here?
To make sure that this was a love for life dear.
I don't know how you feel but I know how I feel about you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm speaking as a man,
with men's needs.
Why try when we can,
ourselves succeed?
but they're making it hard for me..
As I'm breathing in,
I'm breathing out again,
I've got teething problems
but it's true,
I wanna be with you my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We don't care about what
they may say about us,
keep holding hands and make our way on through the madness.
I don't know how you feel but I know how I feel for you.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And I'm speaking as a man,
with men's needs.
Why try when we can,
ourselves succeed?
but they're making it hard for me..
As I'm breathing in,
I'm breathing out again,
I've got teething problems
but it's true,
I wanna be with you my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

They said I've always had an older soul
I'm not sure how I'm meant to feel about this.
Such a wise head on young shoulders
guess I'll never know the youth that I have missed.
Oh,
It's alright now I tell myself.
There's another life to live when this runs out.
It's alright now I tell myself.
Oh,
I'll use it while I can.

When I'm Not Sleeping
04:14

Stood under a streetlight and I'm on my own
hoping my feet may carry me home
As I'm trying to be the best that I can be
lord knows it's you I wanna see
My darling, when will we be together
I'm placing my whole life in your hands
and I will be waiting on you forever.
Now this is a toast,
a vow that I'm keeping
and I feel it most
when I'm not sleeping the day away.
I know that we're often left feeling confused
it can't hep that my phone is battered and bruised
Believe me love there's nothing I want more
fly over the atlantic and land on the shore
My darling, I swear that we'll be together
and once again feel our toes in the sand
as long as I can keep myself together.
I'll make it to the coast
for a love that I'm keeping
and I feel it most,
when I'm not sleeping.
take your time,
rest your mind,
I won't be far behind.
Make my way,
to where you stay,
I'm only a day away.
Darling, you'll never see me with another,
you're everything I've ever needed and more
and we'll be okay as long as we've got each other.
Now this is a toast,
a vow that I'm keeping
and I feel it most
when I'm not sleeping the day away, day away, a day away, a day away.

I'm sat in the corner,
I mourn her and wait for her ghost.
It's faithfully stealing,
the beating her heart does the most.
and I'll try to right her wrongs
so she'll fly to where she belongs
if I believe in it.

These walls are just two by fours
I can hear them for miles and more on each side,
no one can hide.
life's raining in Manchester
bad weather, it can't fester in my mind,
I'll leave this behind.
A place for us in our universe.
Saratoga Springs,
I want in, don't shut me out.
Saratoga Springs, New York, New York,
You're there waiting for me.
I'm sick of saying just how I feel,
it's just a big fucking hamster wheel of despair.
I know the day is coming soon,
and you say that you love me to the moon and back, my love,
it's more than enough.
A place for us in our universe.
Saratoga Springs,
I want in, don't shut me out.
Saratoga Springs, New York, New York,
You're there waiting for me.
You're there waiting for me
You're there waiting for me
Oh..
Saratoga Springs,
I want in, don't shut me out.
Saratoga Springs, New York, New York,
You're there waiting for me.
You're there waiting for me.
You're there waiting for me.
You're there waiting for me.

For You And Us
03:00

That's all I have to say
before I make my way
back where I belong
as I sing all these songs of being apart
And I want you all to know
that this is no tearjerking show
it's a celebration of all you can feel in your heart
I found,
what it is that makes us human,
what it is that makes us live,
to love and forgive.
I found,
my failings as a person,
was leading me to this,
a love I can't miss.
For you and us,
my love.
For you and us,
my love.
My love.
