Rejected for no reason
|
He finds it easy to cry
|
Another day that pases
|
How he tries to hide
|
Confused with how he's feeling
|
Ends up wanting much more
|
Waits for the bell to ring
|
But no-one's at the door.
|
Living in a jail house
|
A cell of his own
|
Will he ever have his freedom
|
Inside of his home?
|
And the warden is his father
|
The watcher his mum
|
Under lock and key
|
Until he's 21
|
|
Uncertain where he's going
|
Uncertain of his love
|
Uncertain what is coming
|
Is this the punishment for love?
|
|
They gave him everything he wanted
|
And a little bit more
|
But nothing seems to please him
|
He stares at the floor
|
Watching from the window
|
His friends passing by
|
Wishing he could be there (never satisfied)
|
Living in a jailhouse
|
A cell of his own
|
Will he ever have his freedom
|
Inside of his home
|
The judge it is his father
|
The jury his mum
|
He'll just have to serve his sentence
|
Until he's 21
|
|
Well you know
|
Time waits for no-one
|
Got a pace of its own
|
The dawning of an idea
|
To go it alone
|
Longing for adventure
|
Fear of the unknown
|
Trying to find the courage
|
Make a break of his own
|
Fleeing from that jailhouse
|
His heart full of hope
|
There's a ride waiting for him
|
To take him to the smoke
|
