To the man in his bedroom who still thinks he's a kid,
I pray you never grow up for as long as you live,
I pray that you think about those things that you miss,
The things that you went through to get to the things that you did.
I pray that you feel all your pain, and you don't bottle it up,
And realise that being yourself is enough,
Cos if you're running from the past and the things that you hide,
Then you'll be running for the rest of your life.
(Oh I'll let you you, I'll you go oh),
Cos if you're running from ya past and the things that you hide,
Then you'll be running for the rest of your life,
To the man in his bedroom who still thinks he's a kid,
I hope you held on tightly to the brim of your lid,
And no matter how many times you lost I hope that you learnt that its apart of the process to get the things that you deserve.
And there's no such thing as having a bad day
It can be great when things don't go your way
Cos if you're running from the past and the things that you hide
Then you'll be running for the rest of your life
(Oh I'll let you you, I'll you go oh)
Cos if you're running from the past and the things that you hide
Then you'll be running for the rest of your life x 2
I hope you make it through the weather
Cos summers up and gone forever
You know them days when you've felt better?
Well they don't last forever
Been having the same dreams all your life
Boy, you couldn't stop them if you tried
Once you realise that letting go is everything you wanted out of life
(Oh I'll let you you, I'll you go oh)
Cos if you're running from the past and the things that you hide
Then you'll be running for the rest of your life x 2
To the man in his bedroom are you proud of who you've become?
I guess I'm talking about still taking the shopping in for your mum or did you somehow manage to trip and spill the beans all over the front porch?
It's all up the walls man and all up the sides
Don't cry - daddy's not here to tell you off
You're a big boy now lift your chin up be proud of who you
May your future be here and your past be the past
And if you're looking to bloom, then keep on watering the grass
Oh man in his bedroom don't you dare give up now
You've seen first hand what happens when you settle for a face in the crowd
But still, take your time, stop for a coffee along the way
And brush your gnashers at least 2 times a day
Oh man in his bedroom, Wow big legend
Draw the curtains, open the windows, take a deep breath, and accept where it all went wrong -
To the man in his bedroom,
It was you all along
I hope you make it through the weather
Cos summers up and gone forever
You know them days when you've felt better?
Well they don't last forever
