I’m bored, it’s late, I can’t sleep, so I’m scrolling my newsfeed
I swear I was meant for more than this
I watched 15 minutes of 3 new series on Netflix and I can’t make up my mind
How to waste a bit more of my time
I was born in the 80’s, play ball in the park getting drunk in the dark
Kissing by the bike shed, throwing stones at your window
We had big dreams then, where are they now?
I swear, I swear
We were meant for more than this
I swear, I swear
We were meant for more than this
Kissing by the bike shed throwing stones at your window
We had big dreams then, where are they now
We were meant for more than this
I left School without a job, took a little bit of time to find myself
Was the singer in a band, ‘cause all the cool kids were doing that
We ripped our sound from the 80’s, we were so fucking now playing shows outta town
Skinny guys in make-up, wearing women’s clothes from Primark
We had big dreams then, where are they now?
I swear, I swear
We were meant for more than this
I swear, I swear
We were meant for more than this
Kissing by the bike shed, throwing stones at your window
We had big dreams then, where are they now?
All of those big dreams, where are they now?
We had so many big plans, where are they now?
We were gonna rule the world together baby
Just you and me it was meant to be
I swear, I swear
We were meant for more than this
I swear, I swear
We were meant for more than this
Kissing by the bike shed, throwing stones at your window
We had big dreams then, where are they now?
We were meant for more than this
