Ripples In The Timeline

When the bells rang, I weren't ready for the playground heavies

Wasn't useful with my fists yet like my grandad Freddie

So I played class clown until the tears came down

Oversensitive, in envy of the fun you found

I waste away my wayward days stray from your sweetheart parties

Outside the in crowd, flipping burgers, far from golden arches

Fourteen and I'm gagging for that late-night draw

If you can pry my greedy eyes off the N64

But then I simmer down and suss out my own crowd

It feels like—

Triple-drop the doves, they take flight deep inside

And when it hits, I realise

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

All the girls get us blushing, they say it's sweet

We get inseparable and torn to pieces every week

Life is lawless, all before us and the breaking beat's like—

But then when Jackie dies, we lose someone unique

He lived in service of a feeling, I go chasing through the city streets

In our hometown, there's a shadow where your track marks hide

So I make tracks and ride

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

Ripples in the timeline, takes me back, teen misbehaving

I miss our wayward daydreams, but you say you don't need saving

No reinvention, still that pensive boy of reckless memory

Still oversensitive, still raving off the excess envy

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

My body flows like water

My body flows like water
