lyrics

And you're smiling til your cheeks hurt
Too young to choose your tshirt
You were created in a moment
You won't know about til you're older
But while you're pushed round supermarkets
Your seat is itching for you to depart it
You're crying out crying out
You’re crying out crying out
Crying out for life to begin

So get up
Why you crawling round?
Get up
This place is waiting for you to get out
Why you crawling round?
Get up
This life is waiting waiting
 
Now you're residing on a sofa
As these games consoles console ya
Staring up at a poster
Dreaming of falling in love
But you're scared to even get started
You're not a statistic in a jobs market
You're a person
And you’re crying out for life to begin
You may feel that life has passed ya
But before you start quoting sinatra
You can save that stuff til after
And if you're bruised then make a plaster
Once again lost in a supermarket
But now you're pushing round the kid in the basket
You're both crying out crying out
You’re both crying out crying out
Crying out for life to begin

So get up
Why you crawling round?
Get up
This place is waiting for you to get out
Why you crawling round
Get up
This life is waiting waiting

We’re born original but we lose it
It’s time to disregard that and use it
If you want something then choose it
And my legs were built for moving
We’re not 11 digit numbers
We must awaken from this slumber
Your path was carved out by hundreds and hundreds
Who passed on this life to you
And we’ll only be here briefly
There’s no pedestal there beneath me
I’m as scared as you believe me
I’m just clinging on to the ceiling
So just leave the supermarket
Forget your car or where you parked it
Feel us rising out of the basket
We’re crying out for life to begin

Why you crawling round?
Get up
This place is waiting for you to get out
Why you crawling round
Get up
This life is waiting waiting
