[Verse 1]
You meet me at the school gate
In a blue T-shirt
We go to town on Fridays
And I ask about your work
And when I love the way you drove your car
Like a Tarantino gangster
Where you're racing round the corner
Yeah, racing round the corner

And you talk about the people
At the job you said you hate
You never had the opportunities when you were my age
And I remember how you looked at me
When I was turning seventeen
Said everything is changing, and I hopе you're gonna make it...

[Pre-Chorus]
On your own
Cause I know your drеams are way too far from home
And I know it's time to leave
So if you're aiming for the sky
Baby let 'em see you fly
But if you don't
I'll be there to catch you if you fall
[Chorus](x2)
Da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da (you don't)
Da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da (you don't)
Da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da (you don't)
You don't, I'll be there to catch you if you fall

[Verse 2]
You know you like your drinking
When you're standing in a crowd
And your jokes are kind of evil when
Your whiskey's almost out
And my mother's trying to drag you home
And I'm taken back to when we were
Standing at the station
And I remember you saying...

[Pre-Chorus]
You're on your own
Cause I know your dreams are way too far from home
And I know it's time to leave
So if you're aiming for the sky
Baby let 'em see you fly
But if you don't
I'll be there to catch you if you fall

[Chorus](x2)
Da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da (you don't)
Da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da (you don't)
Da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da do, da-da-da-da (you don't)
You don't, I'll be there to catch you if you fall
