So scared when I close my eyes of what I'll see when I open them
But it's not a monster anymore, it's the worried face of a friend
Wanna find my younger self, wring his little f**ing neck
For thinking it would impress Jackie if I dragged on her cigarette
And I guess that it did
Cause when we kissed her lips tasted just like it
[Chorus]
Walk in time with the rushing waitress just so I can walk with someone
This pier's too pretty to be alone on
And back home on the landlocked bed, between good loving and common sense
I realised I can definitely keep living like this
I just need to quit
The stale warmth of her mouth was dulled by far too many afternoons like this
Spent posing round the car park half alive, half scared sh**less
The concerned consumers waddled on into the dull fluorescent throng
I looked down and realised, I still had my school uniform on
And the older kids had said, they'd have done it if she dared
And I knew from that moment on that part of me would always be
Impressing someone or hopelessly scared
Walk in time with the rushing waitress just so I can walk with someone
This pier's too pretty to be alone on
And back home on the landlocked bed, between good loving and common sense
I realised I can definitely keep living like this
I've just gotta get my sh** together
