lyrics

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
I don’t think I’ve had my aspirations through the post yet
Or forgot them years ago..
“Could you ask me another time?
I’m still not sure yet” – 25, 2016
Is the quote I'll repeat until I die

I used to be such a promising boy,
If I'd applied myself I'd probably be an astronaut
At least I never act my age so people don't expect much from me, if at all.
The blame is heavy if it's mine
So I say this is all I need.

If happiness is a portable 16 track home studio
Then I guess I’m happy most the time
I just need something for when I'm outside
And in the events where I close my eyes
Self aware but paralysed
How do people find the time?
They find success,
They enjoy their lives

I used to be such a promising boy
If I'd applied myself I'd probably be a hypocrite
I used to be so much less of a prick,
I used to have dreams that were realistic,
Now I don't know what I need
But I've always wanted to be a postman,
I told them that at the interview
But I think my genuine ardor
Must have been misconstrued
As sarcasm when in reality id never meant something so much
And I still check the Royal Mail website
With eyes adorned in a glaze of lust
But it's just a dream, it couldn't be, I'm just an average
Joe, just admit you could be a wicked postman
