Popcorn and a Smoothie

Happy birthday, I know I forgot

Did your mum say I'm working nights?

Now I know that you'll hear this a lot

But I promise I’ll make it right

But how is school?

Do you need new shoes?

I heard you’re getting taller

And I know that it feels like a while

But on Saturday morning, I'll call you

Maybe I could take you to the movies?

You could get some popcorn and a smoothie

Sit next to me

Oh, 'cause I just wanna get to know you

And maybe I could meet you at the school gates?

And take you to the park before it's too late

Is that okay?

I can explain why I’m only here sometimes

Oh, only here sometimes

Are you eating and sleeping enough?

Is there something you love to do?

Is it easy for you to make friends?

Do you have to pretend you're cool?

Do you act like a saint?

Do you always complain

Or drive your mother insane like me?

Do you wonder why I'm not around?

Do you even remember me?

Maybe I could take you to the movies?

You could get some popcorn and a smoothie

Sit next to me

Oh, 'cause I just wanna get to know you

And maybe I could meet you at the school gates?

And take you to the park before it's too late

Is that okay?

I can explain why I’m only here sometimes

Oh, I'm only here sometimes

Oh-ooh

And I know that I should be doing more

And I will

'Cause you deserve to know a happy home

Well, maybe I could take you to the movies?

You could get some popcorn and a smoothie

Sit next to me

Oh, 'cause I just wanna get to know you

And maybe I could meet you at the school gates?

And take you to the park before it's too late

Is that okay?

I can explain why I’m only here sometimes

Oh, I'm only here sometimes, yeah
