[VERSE 1] 17, with my license / We thought hey, we might as well try it / If I act like I’m not fazed to the guy out the front of the pub / Then he might buy it / Then he bought it, awesome / Jack and Coke we ordered for of them / Excitement rushed through our veins as our brains then / Couldn’t believe what they were pouring for us / Imagine that / Yeah / Two kids in a world that they did not know / But it did not show / That there put me in lift off mode / Same mind set when the chips got low / What I’m saying is to live on hope / When there ain’t none there and you cannot cope / Life is… Crazy / How many hurricanes, floods, deaths, and festival line ups / Have you heard about lately? Trust me it’s happening right now, a lad on his night out / Someone somewhere is smacking his lights out / Cop car sirens are flashing their lights round / Meanwhile in the wait for the racket to pipe down / My ex girl sent me a text to see / We all know how ex’s be / But she don’t get a text from me / Cos that’d make my new girl an ex to be / We all on the chase of that ecstasy / But no ex in me you can check my teeth / Most the time we get cramped legs and feet / Rarely do we ever get the exit seat / And that’s a metaphor for rent and B. / I.L.L.S. and expenses we / Go and happen encounter each and every week / So I think back to when I was 17, can you blame me / [CHORUS] Don’t you blame me / For what I do not know / What I have not grown in to be / I said don’t you blame me / Those tears in your eyes / Are making it harder to see / I said don’t you blame me / [VERSE 2] 24, on a night out / I was up late like a night owl / Then the cops went and did a walk through / And they told me to get right out right now / It was late / So I told him I thought that’s a great idea / Then I skulled my drink and I put the glass down / In between his two boots when I finished my beer / And it pissed him off major / I’m talking major / Now I’m in the corner of the lift arm bended up my back / Like he was trying to break it / Spent a night locked up / N’ got out in the morning / With a court date then I walked strait / Out gathered up my pennies and I went and got a lawyer / Told her I was wasted sure / Smart ass but I didn’t break the law / N’ I can prove it with the video tapes for sure / But when we got there the video tapes were gone / He supplied his report lied through it all / Deleted footage then denied it of coarse / Then told me to plead guilty or else he’d have more / Charges added if I decided to not / Black mail, that failed / Man I proved it all / Then they went and dropped all charges 10 minutes / Before the hearing they knew they would lose in court / It was one for the ages / But my effort wasn’t wasted / Cos they paid for more than my trip to Vegas / With 15 thousand in compensation all because they blamed me / [CHORUS] [BRIDGE] We are / We are the ones who feel this / And I’m / Scared they won’t think I’m fearless / Tried to paint me a halo / I couldn’t quite get the colours right / Where the hell did the day go? / Spent my time chasing butterflies / I’ll live til a hundred / And have every answer for every question / They ever thought of but for now / The beauty’s in trying to work it out /
