School Gates
Tired eyes
You're not sleeping with that worried mind
Not as simple as a 9-to-5
Your work is taking over
You know you can't let it go for us
Everything I am I owe to you
And everything I have
I want to give back tenfold, tenfold, tenfold
I hope you know
When I was younger
Waiting at the school gates saying there's my mother
Never had to worry cause you gave me love and
Never said I couldn't be just what I wanted
And now I'm older
Standing up, your head can't even see my shoulders
Roles start to reverse and now I'm coming over
I'll be there for you like you were there for me
On the phone to the doctor's cause you'll never go
You say you're fine but I'm not 12 years old anymore
Promise me you'll look after yourself
And I promise I'll do my best to get you out in style
Watch you travel ten-thousand miles
And stand there in the stadiums listening to that curly boy
Cause everything I am I owe to you
And everything I have
I want to give back tenfold, tenfold, tenfold
I hope you know
When I was younger
Waiting at the school gates saying there's my mother
Never had to worry cause you gave me love and
Never said I couldn't be just what I wanted
And now I'm older
Standing up, your head can't even see my shoulders
Roles start to reverse and now I'm coming over
I'll be there for you, like you were there for me
I'll be there for you, like you were there for me
You're not sleeping with that worried mind
Not as simple as a 9-to-5
Your work is taking over
You know you can't let it go for us
Everything I am I owe to you
And everything I have
I want to give back tenfold, tenfold, tenfold
I hope you know
When I was younger
Waiting at the school gates saying there's my mother
Never had to worry cause you gave me love and
Never said I couldn't be just what I wanted
And now I'm older
Standing up, your head can't even see my shoulders
Roles start to reverse and now I'm coming over
I'll be there for you like you were there for me
On the phone to the doctor's cause you'll never go
You say you're fine but I'm not 12 years old anymore
Promise me you'll look after yourself
And I promise I'll do my best to get you out in style
Watch you travel ten-thousand miles
And stand there in the stadiums listening to that curly boy
Cause everything I am I owe to you
And everything I have
I want to give back tenfold, tenfold, tenfold
I hope you know
When I was younger
Waiting at the school gates saying there's my mother
Never had to worry cause you gave me love and
Never said I couldn't be just what I wanted
And now I'm older
Standing up, your head can't even see my shoulders
Roles start to reverse and now I'm coming over
I'll be there for you, like you were there for me
I'll be there for you, like you were there for me
