Previous Me

From a little town that's got, nothing in the neighbourhood
No-one ever really cared, no-one understood
You were at that age when all, things were boring and your time
Always caught you by surprise, playing up at school
Then you left, and your friends, stayed behind you'll always know where to find them
(They got their own lives now)
So get a job, and get away because it doesn't really matter if you don't want to stay

I wrote it all in lockdown, it helped me turn my life around
I was feeling rather down, but now I'm good
I found some old songs that needed some love and
This is what we got from that

Another shot in the dark, you gotta take it
You and I know where
Another song to forget, maybe remember this
Only time will tell I guess my friend

It's shot in the dark
(You gotta take it)
You and I know where
(You're gonna make it)
Another version of me is probably listening
Got a lot of help from a previous me

Said a previous me

Now you're writing lyrics that break apart before they make
Sense you'll have to sing it wrong, maybe just like that
Funny how this came about, no originality
I'd already written it, previously
Gotta think, like you did, take a trip back, in your mind on the right track
(It was a different time)
Not the first, not the last because it really doesn't really matter if you don't wanna say

(You're gonna make it)
Another version of me is probably listening
Got a lot of help from a previous

Time we made sense of it
It's all falling apart they said
Maybe to the end and back again
It's already been done, it's already been

Time we made sense of it
It's all falling apart they said
Maybe to the end and back again
It's already been done, it's already been done

From a little town that had, nothing in the neighbourhood
No-one ever really cared, no-one really understood
Now I think, that I find, when I write
Everybody's got their own way of living

I wrote it all in lockdown, it helped me turn my life around
I was feeling rather down, but now I'm good
I found some old songs that needed some love and
This is what we got from that!

I said thank you previous me
