LYRICS

I’ve been waiting all my life to get to me where I am
And if I ever reach the top, I hope you understand

I’m sitting at the kitchen window
Just looking at the world go by
Clock’s ticking but the time ain’t moving
Doesn’t life just fly right by
Not missing all the complications
Not wishing on a lucky star
Not going back to where I came from
Cause I made it work so far

I know (I know) everyone who’s let me down
And I know (I know) all the ones who’ll be around
Yes I know (I know) and it means everything to me
Just to who knows (who knows) exactly who and what is real

Got some money in my pocket, got my head on tight
I don’t need a substitute to make me feel alright
Got no worries in my diary, got a lot to gain
And if you could walk in my shoes
Then you’d feel the same

I’m living on the same old story
Heart’s beating but it’s not so fast
Been laying down my real intentions
Cause I never thought they’d last
I’m shutting all the doors behind me
I’m looking at an open space
I’m cutting all the ties that bind me
Gonna walk right out this place

I know (I know) everyone who’s let me down
And I know (I know) all the ones who’ll be around
Yes I know (I know) and it means everything to me
Just to who knows (who knows) exactly who and what is real

Got some money in my pocket, got my head on tight
I don’t need a substitute to make me feel alright
Got no worries in my diary, got a lot to gain
And if you could walk in my shoes
Then you’d feel the same

I want to be all that I can be all that I can be
I’m letting go, you’d better hold on
Take it from me, take what you need
I’ll see you right, open your mind

I know, I know who’s let me down
I know, I know who’ll be around
I know, I know just that means
To know, to know just what is real

Got some money in my pocket, got my head on tight
I don’t need a substitute to make me feel alright
Got no worries in my diary, got a lot to gain
And if you could walk in my shoes
Then you’d feel the same

Got some money in my pocket, got my head on tight
(I didn’t need to worry for so long)
I don’t need a substitute to make me feel alright
(Never thought that I could be this strong)
Got no worries in my diary, got a lot to gain
(I only ever wanted to be true)
And if you could walk in my shoes
(That’s why I’m running to)

I don’t care what people say (ooh)
Doesn’t matter anyway (ooh)
You do yours and I’ll do mine (ooh)
Carry on we’ll be just fine (ooh)

And I don’t care what people say (ooh)
Doesn’t matter anyway (ooh)
You do yours and I’ll do mine (ooh)
Carry on we’ll be just fine (ooh)

I’ve been waiting all my life to get to me where I am
And if I ever reach the top, I hope you understand
