You are born
There are things that you learn
To keep the ball rolling
For every way that you turn
There is always some way better

I found a mum in a toilet. I'm a son
Somewhere age 11
And the way that I turned was to run
From everything that felt different

(AHA-HA) Based on some digging I know
(AHA-HA) It started as candy
(AHA-HA) Distraction in every way
No pain inside me

(AHA-HA) And physically I'm itching
(AHA-HA) Stuff is burning cleverly
(AHA-HA) You can't just sit there doing nothing
While you're tearing down a system

I'm 27, driving in a car
There's so much going on now
Amsterdam is putting on it's frown
Cynically I'm praying for a girl

Out in the town or near the sea
Somewhere it's quiet
That's all that I want to believe
There's always some way happier

(AHA-HA) Based on some digging I know
(AHA-HA) It started as candy
(AHA-HA) Distraction in every way
No pain inside me

(AHA-HA) And physically I'm itching
(AHA-HA) Stuff is burning cleverly
(AHA-HA) You can't just sit there doing nothing
While you're tearing down a system

(AHA-HA) Based on some digging I know
(AHA-HA) It started as candy
(AHA-HA) Based on some digging I know
No pain inside me

There's freedom in words that are young
Just read them and throw me
From every opinion you have built
I'm just here to please myself gently
