Lyrics by Dayne Hodgson

STEP OFF THE TRAIN AT HALF NINE AND SMILE
YOU DON'T WANNA GO, BUT IT'S ALL WORTH WHILE
THE DAY'S ARE LONG AND THE SKY'S ARE NEVER CLEAR
NEED A RIDE UP THE HILL COS YOU DON'T FEEL WELL
THE PAIN IN YOUR HEAD BEGINS TO SWELL
YOU WISH YOU WERE STILL TUCKED UP IN BED

THEN THE DAY BEGINS AND YOUR SAT IN YOUR CHAIR
THE LESSON IS SHIT BUT YOU JUSTT DON'T CARE
ALL YOU WANNA DO IS FADE AWAY
EVERYDAY I'M ASKED TO MAKE A DECISION
THE TEACHER SAYS THAT I LACK AMBITION
IF ONLY HE KNEW THE REAL ME

I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP
I JUST WANT TO BLOW UP
EVERYDAY IS THE SAME
I THINK I'M GOING INSANE
BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER
I'M GONNA CLIMB THAT LADDER
AND MAKE IT UP THERE ONEDAY

AT LAST IT'S OVER AND TIME TO GO HOME
TEXT MY MATE ON MY BRAND NEW PHONE
LAY ON MY BED AND THINK ABOUT TOMORROW
BUT I KNOW WHEN I WAKE UP THE NEXT MORNING
THE CHANCES ARE IT WILL STILL BE POORING
AND IT'S BACK TO THE STATION TO CATCH THE TRAIN AGAIN

I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP
I JUST WANT TO BLOW UP
EVERYDAY IS THE SAME
I THINK I'M GOING INSANE
BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER
I'M GONNA CLIMB THAT LADDER
AND MAKE IT UP THERE ONEDAY

MAKE IT UP THERE ONE DAY

GONNA TURN BACK THE CLOCK
GONNA GO BACK IN TIME
I'M GONNA GO AND GET WHAT IS RIGHTFULLY MINE
COS AFTER ALL THAT'S SAID AND DONE
I'M THE ONE HOLDING THE GUN!

LISTEN TO ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
TELL ME WHAT DO YOU SEE
THE PERSON YOU ARE, OR THE PERSON YOU WANNA BE

WHY DON'T YOU OPEN THE DOOR AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK INSIDE
YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY FIND
YOU TOOK IT FROM ME, NOW I WANT IT BACK
AND I BETTER GET IT NOW OR I'M GOING TO SNAP!

LISTEN TO ME NOW, WHEN I'M SHOUTING AT YOU
DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
TELL ME HOW DO YOU FEEL
DO YOU FEEL STRANGE AND UNREAL?

WITH THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD ON YOUR SHOULDERS
AND THE STRAIN BEGINNING TO SHOW
YOU BETTER BEGIN TO GET WORRIED
COS THIS IS MY CHANCE TO TAKE IT AWAY
AND Y'KNOW THAT I'M HERE TO STAY

LISTEN TO ME WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
DO AS I SAY AND NOT AS I DO
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
TELL ME HOW DO YOU FEEL
WHEN YOU LOOK IN THE MIRROR
TELL ME WHAT DO YOU SEE
THE PERSON YOU ARE, OR THE PERSON YOU WANNA BE!
