52

I know you're tired of it all

But you can talk to me

I know this stuff's not as easy as it's supposed to be

Yesterday you were just a boy

Now you're feeling older than you ever have before

It's as common as the flu

As certain as the sun rising and falling over you

I think we should have left those views

In post-war Britain, '52

I'm sorry for being so unaware

I'm sure that you're frightened, I'm just as scared

'Cause I don't know what I'd do without you

So let me disperse the blue

You wanna sleep for an eternity

Fade into obscurity

Oh, help me understand your wheel

I know you're sick of it all

So, you should talk to me

I know this stuff's not as easy as it used to be

Each day's a little heavier than the last

Every morning, waking with a funeral for the past

It's as sudden as the night

It creeps up from behind

As useless as smokes without a light (Hey)

Escape to university

Forget about your history

I'm sorry for being so unaware

I'm sure that you're frightened, I'm just as scared

'Cause I don't know what I'd do without you

So let me disperse the blue

You wanna sleep for an eternity

Fade into obscurity

Oh, help me understand your wheel

Come down friendly bombs, hit the city

Rain down, pepper the ground

They're waiting for you

Waiting for you

Come down friendly bombs, hit the city

Rain down, pepper the ground

They're waiting for you

Waiting for you

Come down friendly bombs, hit the city

Rain down, pepper the ground

They're waiting for you

Waiting for...

I'm sorry for being so unaware

I'm sure that you're frightened, I'm just as scared

'Cause I don't know what I'd do without you

So let me disperse the blue

You wanna sleep for an eternity

Fade into obscurity

Oh, help me understand your wheel

Come down friendly bombs, hit the city

(I'm sorry for being so unaware)

Rain down, pepper the ground

They're waiting for you (I'm sorry for being so unaware)

Waiting for you

Come down friendly bombs, hit the city

(I'm sorry for being so unaware)

Rain down, pepper the ground

They're waiting for you

(I'm sorry for being so unaware)

Waiting for...
