So scared when I close my eyes of what I'll see when I open them
But it's not a monster anymore, it's the worried face of a friend
Wanna find my younger self, wring his little fucking neck
For thinking it would impress Jackie if I dragged on her cigarette
And I guess that it did
Cause when we kissed her lips tasted just like it

[Chorus]
Walk in time with the rushing waitress just so I can walk with someone
This pier's too pretty to be alone on
And back home on the landlocked bed, between good loving and common sense
I realised I can definitely keep living like this
I just need to quit

The stale warmth of her mouth was dulled by far too many afternoons like this
Spent posing round the car park half alive, half scared shitless
The concerned consumers waddled on into the dull fluorescent throng
I looked down and realised, I still had my school uniform on

And the older kids had said, they'd have done it if she dared
And I knew from that moment on that part of me would always be
Impressing someone or hopelessly scared

Walk in time with the rushing waitress just so I can walk with someone
This pier's too pretty to be alone on
And back home on the landlocked bed, between good loving and common sense
I realised I can definitely keep living like this
