Hey Boy Lyrics

These 20 digital hugs are only warming up my fingertips

Sticky plaster on a sinking ship

Desperation man I stink of it

So I force another fake smile for the camera

As I sink a bit

Deeper into social media induced depression

I've seen it all before but still I never learn my lesson

Yet this image I'm projecting is so effervescent

Keep my real feelings on the inside keep 'em guessing

Sometimes I want to break down and cry

In fact fuck it, I DO break down and cry

And I don't even know why

It's like I wake up and my get up and go

Has got up and gone

Just as I was thinking we were getting along

Turns out I'm really not that strong

Thought I had it figured out

I must have gotten it wrong

It's like I've written all the lyrics but forgotten the song

And now I'm sat here nodding along

Just singing like

Hey Boy

What you gonna do today boy?

Put down that screen and play boy

The world is outside your window

No no no

I said Hey Boy

What you gonna do today boy?

Put down that screen and play boy

The world is outside your window

No no no

How many days is this daze gonna last?

Sitting on my arse eating ice-cream Mars

Watching every episode of House of Cards

Just to keep my mind busy like an ounce of grass

How many days am I gonna stay alone?

Just sitting on my own watching Game of Thrones

Trying to find connection in my smart arse phone

When all I really wanted was a place called home

I'm pretty certain that I don't need to take their drugs for this

All I really need's bare hugs for this

Friendly faces, wide open spaces and a place to rest from all of this

Pessimism it's a prison I find myself in

But I'm the only guard in the whole building

It's time to plan my escape

Before I waste another day in this place

That's why I'm saying

Hey Boy

What you gonna do today boy?

Put down that screen and play boy

The world is outside your window

No no no

I said Hey Boy

What you gonna do today boy?

Put down that screen and play boy

The world is outside your window

No no no

And I know that it's not just me

In fact I'm getting off lightly

All things considered I'm generally winning

And I'm just having a bad week

So know that it's not just you

There's more than one shade of blue

We're all just doing our best to enjoy this mess

As we struggle on through

Struggle on through

As we struggle on through

Ehhh

Hey Boy

What you gonna do today boy?

Put down that screen and play boy

The world is outside your window

Hey Boy

What you gonna do today boy?

Put down that screen and play boy

The world is outside your window
