[Verse 1]
Took a second as he looked over the unmown lawn
His hand froze on the handle of the front door
Feet felt glued to the floor
Driver side opens, here we go once more
With the front seat feel safer than whatever lay beyond the yard
The weight of disappointment lay upon him like a scar
Red brick veneer look the same as the last
What's the chance that this won't be the same as the last?
Someone else's house, someone else's rules
Someone else's room, someone else's school
He don't fit in anywhere and knows it
Hate it when a caseworker try to sugar-coat
What the f**? These people aren't mum and dad
So f** 'em when they try to tell me that my goodness is becoming bad
I must be good at it, the way that they keep coming back
Kick me out, pick me up, take me to another pad
[Pre-Hook]
Maybe this time will be different
Start from scratch and begin again
Maybe this time will be different
Rebuild trust, restart that sh** again
Maybe this time will be different
I'd swap it all for somebody who'd listen
Maybe this time will be different
What if we could trade our positions?
[Hook]
Is anybody listening? I don't wanna talk
When you say that you know what's good for me
'Cause in the end
You're gonna let me down again
'Cause you're not really listening
I don't wanna talk, not right now
(Put my motherf**in' wall up right now)
You let me down again
[Verse 2: Josh Pyke]
Boys on the inside looking out
What are we waiting for?
Well maybe there's a crack in the wall that will open up
And swallow me whole
And I would disappear
But I fear that the outside world
Is a mirror that mocks me, and this is all f**ed up
And they keep shattering illusions
Every time they move me on
I've been moving so long, start to forget
Where I even started from
Like a sad old song, where the feeling stays
But the words are all wrong
And no one listens, and you let me down again
[Pre-Hook]
Maybe this time will be different
Start from scratch and begin again
Maybe this time will be different
Rebuild trust, restart that sh** again
Maybe this time will be different
I'd swap it all for somebody who'd listen
Maybe this time will be different
What if we could trade our positions?
[Hook]
Is anybody listening? I don't wanna talk
When you say that you know what's good for me
'Cause in the end
You're gonna let me down again
'Cause you're not really listening
I don't wanna talk, not right now
(Put my motherf**in' wall up right now)
You let me down again
[Outro: Josh Pyke]
Someone [?] really know where I'm going to
You don't understand what I've been going through
So don't judge me until you've walk in my shoes
