Caravan

Wake up at 6: 00, get an early start
Mum's packed the bags
And shouting up to my brother with stern remarks
Saying if they wanna come they better hurl their arse
Out of their sacks
And get down their fast
And we gotta leave soon and the journey's far
They're outside trying to work the car
And they beep twice as we heard it start
We run outside and squash in the backseat
Beth gets in the gap in my mam's feet
Sat in the footwell in the passenger side
My mum tells to get our head down if we pass police
And ask if we have wees
The girls run back but they're daft '
Cause of me
I tell her that I have but I'm holding it 'til we pass Mc'Ds
You know what that means
In fact imma see if I can grab me one of them new Happy Meals toys that I got last week
After a while "I'm like mum will you slap Steve?"
He's jabbing on my back when I'm trying to get some damn sleep
She says mind your language and slaps me
Everyone laughs as we park the car and all run inside like a stampede

The places we go when we're young
They're like footprints they fade in the sun
To remember those days ain't enough
We go back if only we could
The places we go when we're young
They're like footprints they fade in the sun
To remember those days ain't enough
We go back if only we could

We arrive and our caravan looks like a space ship
Our new neighbors say hello
We laugh and we joke when they ask how many of us can that hold
One day I hope
My mum says that young girls around my age I should go over and play but no
I say I will later
And then I go red when Dave say I won't
We're shouting out things to do and I'm thinking i'll go for a swim and then cruise around
But they're off to beach so i'm gonna go too otherwise i'm gonna think that i'm losing out
We got a dingy in the boot but Shaun says he's got a BB gun to shoot it down
I'm saying prove it
You'd never do it
If you do i'd drown
Mum I ain't sharing a room with him if I do when I get home im moving out
She laughs and says 'Be my guest! I guess it would be useful to lose a mouth'
But then winks and blows me a kiss just to let me know that shes foolin' round
And it cools me down
If God gave me wings I wouldn't use 'em now

The places we go when we're young
They're like footprints they fade in the sun
To remember those days ain't enough
We go back if only we could
The places we go when we're young
They're like footprints they fade in the sun
To remember those days ain't enough
We go back if only we could

I told her that i'd meet her in arcade around half 8
And I can't wait
When I seen her my heart raced
I was halfway through killing zombies on Resident Evil
And told her it was a hard game
She sayin' 'it's easy' and starts playin'
Turns out shes better than me
So I say I let her beat me to save face
She's cooler than the girls at my school
I get this feeling I can't shake
I need let her know soon that it's fine by me if we never part ways
Shes gonna think i'm a fool
She says I ain't half strange
Then kisses my cheek, now i'm finished for the week
And I start feeling a harsh pain
I don't wanna leave yet there's nothing more that I need trust me
They say we're too young for love
But these butterflies must mean something
We're at the end here
Didn't ever expect tears
Guess the brightest flames burn fast, told her we'd meet again next year
