School Boy Lyrics

Staring off from the windowsill
Across the lake over South Bank of Ranzo
Imagination runs wild
Could it be where Potter roams
Or is it a Hare Krishna temple?
Well in that moment you realise
Everything might be just as it seems
So will it ever be worth my time
Waiting in not-remembering dungaree strings?

I'm just a school boy looking for answers
But I'm the only one who will ever know
What I look like in my head
And whether this knitted jumper and these football shorts go
I'm just a young boy looking for pastures
Greener than I'll ever let mine grow
But I should focus on myself
So my own little flowers begin to show

Can I play dress up this afternoon
With painted nails and a smile cheek-to-cheek?
Or am I getting too old to put a costume on
And then when I leave the house it keeps
Its original purpose just a layer on the surface
Meant for no one else to give a shit but me
So I wonder how it got to the point
Where that layer is all anyone else can see

I'm just a school boy looking for answers
But I'm the only one who will ever know
What I look like in my head
And whether this knitted jumper and these football shorts go
I'm just a young boy looking for pastures
Greener than I'll ever let mine grow
But I should focus on myself
So my own little flowers begin to show

There was one time I craved a cigarette
Though I very seldom smoke
But on the very same night
I must have laughed at a dad joke
'Cause I was looking for somebody
I didn't know
About 16 or 17
I thought I knew myself
But I was still checking the mirror
To rectify my health
And I think we all know where that old crooked road to the left led

I'm just a school boy looking for answers
But I'm the only one who will ever know
What I look like in my head
And whether this knitted jumper and these football shorts go
I'm just a young boy looking for pastures
Greener than I'll ever let mine grow
But I should focus on myself
So my own little flowers begin to show

I'm just a school boy looking for answers
But I'm the only one who will ever know
What I look like in my head
And whether this knitted jumper and these football shorts go
