Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm scared of huntsmans

Even though they're harmless, I don't like

Their numerous legs and find their eyes quite charmless

I'm scared of falling, not the jump

Just the landing

A parachute is fine long as I still end up standing

[Chorus]

And I always think you when I was little

And all of the things I chose to love instead

I used to love dinosaurs when I was a kid

I wasn't afraid, I was brave and courageous

With everything I did

[Verse 2]

I'm scared of the fact

I've been to more funerals in my life than weddings

Yeah, I've lost some close mates of mine

And I'm scared of surfing, held underwater choking

Am I tryin' to impress you?

Is it workin', actin' blokey?

[Chorus]

And I always think of when I was little

And all of the things I chose to love instead

I used to love dinosaurs when I was a kid

I wasn't afraid, I was brave and courageous

With everything I did

[Chorus]

I used to love dinosaurs when I was a kid

I wasn't afraid, I was brave and courageous

With everything I did

[Outro]

And I feel like a loser

I've forgotten how to imagine and pretend

So I'll just watch Jurassic Park for the fiftieth time

Avoiding plans I've made with my own friends
