[Verse 1]
You've had the same toothpaste for as long as I remember
And every time I use it I see a child in the bathroom mirror
The second smallest in my class
On his own and the end of Scarborough Pier
Wondering how he got this far
And if he'd ever jump from here

[Chorus]
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada)
Wondering how he got this far
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if he'd ever jump from here

[Verse 2]
You've had the same loose gate for as long as I remember
In decent light it's beautiful but unhinged we are weathered together
And I still tear myself apart
In the dark on my own and the of my tether
Wondering how I got this far
And if I'd ever jump from here

[Chorus]
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada)
Wondering how I got this far
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if I'd ever jump from here
[Verse 3]
And I hope you are proud of what you have become
My boy I'm not an author but I'd still write for fun
You should've listened to your dad
And learnt guitar when you were young
It'd saved me as a teen and excusing dropped notes as a punk
But I know there are times when your mind works against you
You'll learn early signs, ride it out and you'll breakthrough
Something big is coming where your bro will really need you
So be strong for him, you got this only run if he comes with you
Don't jump

[Chorus]
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada)
Wondering how he got this far
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if he'd ever jump from here
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Ba Bada-Ba)
Wondering how he got this far
(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if he'd ever jump from here
