Oh, my boy Imagine a world that you're gonna enjoy You're charming, just like your grandma Strumming your toy guitar You've got her wrapped around your fingers It seems singing your songs of love Telling her what you'll be when you grow up A singer, songwriter, whatever you decide It's gonna be tough Getting in all the black dark in your blood But when the war is won Promise you'll come and visit us
All these prayers Does anybody know if there's a heaven up there? I'm hoping if there is, then it may be somewhere I can see Your eyes still gently smiling at me Open up a beer, feeling kind of angry you're not here Sit on my mind, don't pick up my iPhone and choose Which part of my mind I will abuse I promised I wouldn't, but it's just too good to refuse
Hmm-mm-hm Ooh-ooh-oh Ooh-ooh-oh
All these dreams They never turn out quite as big as they seem Still waiting for my mother to arrive And sit down by my side And tell me I don't need to worry anymore Sitting on a plane Drinking to anaesthetise the pain I don't know where it comes from Been there ever since I was young, I guess But when I'm with my friends, I feel it less Time out of my mind That's when I find I'm at my best
