Run round the garden
My teenage cousin
Is chasing me on
Push bike he's stolen
Sunlight is shining
Everyone's laughing
This sense of freedom
It feels eternal
But I know that we can't stay forever
Car is packed and my parents are calling
My name, I pretend I can't hear them, at all
Jump in the back-seat
Of some rusty shit-heap
We're playing corners
While my friend floors it
No registration
Back tyres burning
Never more careless
Till the cops stop us
And the red and blue lights in the rear-view
As the cops call my mum and my dad too
So mad I pretend I can't hear them, at all
Find myself yearning
A feeling burning
Somewhere inside me
The child is set free
Just for a moment
World is enormous
Surprising me with
A sound so joyous
But I know that we can't stay forever
Make the most of the one chance we're given
Regrets I pretend I don't have them at all
