1996 Lyrics by Ellis King

Better Luck - EP

2024

[Verse 1]
He said, "Take a look at the big picture"
It involves more than just me and you
But the frame that I'm holding is only big enough for two
[Chorus]
And my blood runs cold but yours is old
And numb to these juvenile feelings
Privy to my thoughts and trying to turn the page
And fucking with girls one and a half of my age
And sorry that I wasn't born in '88
But you should've thought about that before it was too late
[Verse 2]
Six months down the road and I still think about it
What would I feel if I have lived without you?
London's getting cold and it's time to come home
But I can't stand the thought of your face 'round every corner
[Chorus]
And my blood runs cold but yours is old
And numb to these juvenile feelings
Privy to my thoughts and trying to turn the page
And fucking with girls one and a half of my age
And sorry that I wasn't born in '88
But you should'vе thought about that before it was too late
[Bridge]
And I saw picturеs of her and how you made a new world
Tell me, is she the one?
Did my growing pains push you away
Or was the timing just not right?
And if I was older would you have stayed
Or was it never worth the fight?
[Chorus]
And my blood runs cold but yours is old
And numb to these juvenile feelings
Privy to my thoughts and trying to turn the page
And fucking with girls one and a half of my age
And sorry that I wasn't born in '88
But you should've thought about that before it was too late
