Childhood Home

(One, two, three, four)

(Hey, hey, hey)

Sat in central park
It's christmas eve and getting dark
This bench is like a landmark
My eyes fixed to the floor
And my best friend is stuck
Rubbing my back as I throw up
It's christmas eve, we drank too much
But we're laughing nonetheless

Slowly regaining life
It's cold, the middle of the night
Tying my shoes by iphone light
All I want is my bed
Somehow your name comes up
She laughs & ties my hair back up
Head in my hands, who gives a fuck
I grin & shake my head

You know my friends are seeing you
Yet you parade around
With your new bitch on your arm
But do they know what you're about
And I'm not jealous of being you
With all of that self doubt
Nice enough, but that's just the way that it plays out

And now I'm just a stranger
Who's slept in your childhood home
And you're still choking back my name
When they get brave over the phone
Meanwhile I'm doing well, I think
Apart from the odd smoke
Said that he'd be mine forever
Yeah, whatever, what a joke

I'm my own person now
Still baffled by the past 'cause how
Was I a shell of me somehow
I don't know where I went
And your alarms
Don't wake me up anymore
Never felt this well-rested before
Yet you're still not content

You know my friends keep seeing you
Yet you parade around
Lounging on the Lime Street steps
Cigarette butts on the ground
But do they know you kissed me there?
Feet barely touching ground?
I was eighteen, but I guess that makes an adult now

And now I'm just a stranger
Who's slept in your childhood home
And you're still choking back my name
When they get brave over the phone
Meanwhile I'm doing well, I think
Apart from the odd smoke
Said that he'd be mine forever
Yeah, whatever, what a joke

Just a memory
That sleeps deep within your bones
And you're still choking back my name
When they're bent over my throne
Still walking round my city
Like it's not my fucking home
Guess it must be true what they say
Guess you'll never walk alone

Guess you'll never walk alone
Never in my childhood home, no
Guess you'll never walk alone
