Boy Lyrics

Smoke your sandwiches and eat your cigarettes

Drink, drink to remember and run, run to forget

Cos the more you go swimming the more you get wet

Kiss all your friends and fight, fight your lovers

Keep your own secrets and just, just share each others

Cos you're a sinner to god but you're a saint to your brothers

Answer the quiz but don't answer, don't answer the phone

Name all of your demons when you feel most alone

I can't build you a house but I can build you a home

Burn your blessings and count, count your bridges

Nobody ever told you that your soul is not a business

So just take the medicine, don't you know it's good for your sickness

Throw out your shoes they don't fit you anymore

Boy, call your father, he's not what he was before

And be kindest to that little one sitting with you on your bedroom floor

Cos we all become a casualty when your heart goes to war
