Cheeky
Teenage Runaway
Father drunk and mother late
Things don't feel right at home
Feel you'd make it better on your own
You know what people say
Gotta make it to a brighter day
Even though it don't seem true
It could happen to you
J-j-just jump
The boat
And hope you stay afloat
Keep riiiiiding the wave
Until you have escaped
Jump
The b-b-b-oat
And hope you stay afloat
Keep riiiiiding the wave
Until you have escaped
A distant light
Will guide you through this desperation
Until the day
That you are feeling brave
And you can return
To the home that left you lonely
And kick down the door
Just to find your parents only
Shocked that you're alive
Just jump
The boat
And hope you stay afloat
Keep riiiiiiding the wave
Until you have escaped
Mid-20s runaway
Really acting like your dad these days
Drinking wine and falling over
Making mother proud
And the stars and the moon and the sea will collide again
And we are what we are
And we are
Woaaah
Father drunk and mother late
Things don't feel right at home
Feel you'd make it better on your own
You know what people say
Gotta make it to a brighter day
Even though it don't seem true
It could happen to you
J-j-just jump
The boat
And hope you stay afloat
Keep riiiiiding the wave
Until you have escaped
Jump
The b-b-b-oat
And hope you stay afloat
Keep riiiiiding the wave
Until you have escaped
A distant light
Will guide you through this desperation
Until the day
That you are feeling brave
And you can return
To the home that left you lonely
And kick down the door
Just to find your parents only
Shocked that you're alive
Just jump
The boat
And hope you stay afloat
Keep riiiiiiding the wave
Until you have escaped
Mid-20s runaway
Really acting like your dad these days
Drinking wine and falling over
Making mother proud
And the stars and the moon and the sea will collide again
And we are what we are
And we are
Woaaah
