A tree I was, she had a lighter in the hand
Boys, they burn brighter in their twenties
With the years I hope she tries to understand
Ooh
Be a good kid, you shut up and watch the show
The teacher's choir almighty
It sings to you all the things you need to know
Ooh
I wasn't ready
See the sharks controlling the undertow
And making the waves I'm riding
I've been thinking about my life above the law
Ooh
The consequences
They had a power over me
I'm not sure if I get it right
Was it something I said, was it something I tried
I'm beginning to believe you started a fight on purpose
What a strange feeling to be alone
I'm not here to get it wrong
Is it something I want, is it something I don't
I'm beginning to forget our starting point on purpose
What a strange feeling to be lost
