Wandering Mini-P

• Wander Alone
  Lyrics
  Wander Alone

  Life has a manual
  You can get it online now
  I work from the angle
  I've been trapped at home and now I'm going out
  Cause I've seen nothing but these walls forever
  It makes a step outside seem so much harder

  And the world its getting stronger
  Pulling me to home
  I know I can fight it and make it on my own
  I know I can fight it and make it all alone

  Cause I breathe when you breathe
  You're the traffic lights I follow, you're like a directory
  Through road rage and wide streets
  You'd take me home but now I'm going out
  I love you, it makes it so much harder
  To leave you, but crowds they travel faster

  And the world its getting stronger
  Pulling me to home
  I know I can fight it and make it on my own
  I know I can fight it and make it all alone
  I know I can fight it, fight it, fight it
  I know I can fight it, fight it

  I love you, it makes it so much harder
  To leave you, but crowds they travel faster
  And the world its getting stronger
  Pulling me to home
  I know I can fight it and make it on my own
  I know I can fight it and make it all alone
  I know I can fight it, fight it, fight it
  I know I can fight it, fight it, fight it
  I know I can fight it, fight it, fight it
  I know I can fight it, fight it

• You're Only Perfect
  Lyrics
  You're Only Perfect

  I count myself lucky to know you
  It's such an honour to hold you
  I'm far gone looking at you
  Cause no one takes my breath away
  Quite like you, I like you, for me

  You're a first place winner no flaws a full score
  You're only perfect
  You're a first place winner no flaws a full score
  You're only perfect
  You get a check check
  A tick tick, right down my list

  I'm oh so happy around you
  I'm on a high so high beside you
  I'm only held back by you
  Cause no one makes me laugh the way
  That you do, what you do for me, honey

  You're a first place winner no flaws a full score
  You're only perfect
  You're a first place winner no flaws a full score
  You're only perfect
  You get a check check
  A tick tick, right down my list list
  You get a check check
  A tick tick, right down my list

  As you skip through my boxes
  You go tick tick tick
  You're like a zig zag down my page
  Like an arrow down my list
  And I'm lost for excuses
  Tests and tricks
  As long as you're mine
  And you've checked that mark

  You're a first place winner no flaws a full score
  You're only perfect
  You're a first place winner no flaws a full score
  You're only perfect
  You get a check check
  A tick tick, right down my list list
  You get a check check
  A tick tick, right down my list

• Watching You Breathe
  Lyrics
  Watching You Breathe

  I’m stuck on your smile
  That little one that you leave when you fall asleep
  And I could lie on your heart
  In the plains of the warmth of the sweet ticking beats

  Just watching you breathe oh
  Watching you breathe oh
  Watching you breathe

  Cause I’m along for the ride
  Tiny waves as you drink up the air from the room
  And I could close my eyes
  And still see you there dunked in the light of the moon

  Just watching you breathe oh
  Watching you breathe oh
  Just watching you breathe

• Mum's Song
  Lyrics
  Mum's Song

  Mum you’ve known me for oh so long
  Since I stumbled on my very first words
  You helped me trade diapers for shirts
  And shirts for suits
  You never let me down
  Know I’m older but I’ll still come back
  You’re my mother and I know you now
  You told me so

  Do you see yourself in me?
  Did the seasons make a change?
  Do you carry me with you in this life?
  Are we blending in?
  Are we fading away?
  Is this us growing up?
  Until the day the questions stop

  Mum my hands are bigger than yours
  And time moves a half tick slower
  You taught me to walk in your shoes
  And now they fit
  You never let me down
  Know I’m older but I’ll still come back
  You’re my mother and I know you now
  You told me so

  Do you see yourself in me?
  Did the seasons make a change?
  Do you carry me with you in this life?
  Are we blending in?
  Are we fading away?
  Is this us growing up?
  Until the day the questions stop

  Do you see yourself in me?
  Did the seasons make a change?
  Do you carry me with you in this life?
  Are we blending in?
  Are we fading away?
  Is this us growing up?
  Until the day the questions stop
  Until the day the questions stop

• Dam Good Friend
  Lyrics
  Dam Good Friend

  Cause you’re totally frustrating, you never get things done
  You always make excuses and their not even good ones
  We should fully cut it off- never speak again
  But I’m totally devoted, I’m such a dam good friend
  Such a dam good friend

  I’ll stay online for ages, I’ll think what I should say
  You probably barely read it but I’ll write it anyway
  You log off conversations when I’m just about to send
  You’re lucky I still bother I’m such a dam good friend
  Such a dam good friend

  I’ll call the phone it disconnects, I’ll even try and send you txts
  It takes a week to even get in touch enough for us to set
  A place and a date but you’ll show up late in the end
  And I’ll just sit and I’ll just wait cause I’m such a dam good friend
  Such a dam good friend

  We’ll find a place and order drinks, you always get that one that stinks
  I always laugh and ask you why then you always let me have a try
  You won’t get through that single glass even though we’ll spend
  Half the day in the bar acting like we’re dam good friends
  Dam good friends

  Cause you’re totally frustrating, you never get things done
  You always make excuses and their not even good ones
  We should fully cut it off- never speak again
  But I’m totally devoted, I’m such a dam good friend

  We should fully cut it off- never speak again
  But man, I think I love you, you’re just the best dam friend

• From Me To You
  Lyrics
  From Me To You

  The leaves have grown like a roof above my head
  And the sun pipes through all the little gaps nature has left
  Breathing pollen pods like sherbet in the breeze
  I hear candy wrappers when I tread on fallen leaves

  Cause it’s a mud path to a place a bit cleaner
  But it’s spotless spotted with the sun specks dear cause
  It’s the quickest route
  From me to you

  So step by step on a pathway grain by grain
  Crunching symphonies and painting dirt with shadow stains
  I’m watching light beams beam out dust in the air
  And I’m whispering to the rocks that I’m almost there

  Cause it’s a mud path to a place a bit cleaner
  But it’s spotless spotted with the sun specks dear cause
  It’s the quickest route
  From me to you

  The daylight spice seems unbeatable and it’s almost that
  But it ain’t quite as nice when I’m on my way back

  Cause it’s a mud path to a place a bit cleaner
  But it’s spotless spotted with the sun specks dear cause
  It’s the quickest route
  From me to you

  Cause it’s a mud path to a place a bit cleaner
  But it’s spotless spotted with the sun specks dear cause
  It’s the quickest route
  From me to you

• Share My Time
  Lyrics
  Share My Time

  Come sit with me
  Decrypting poetry all day long
  Plaiting plaits
  And tying bow cause there's nothing going on

  No one comes to rescue
  Trapped fair maidens oh so shy
  When life moves so quickly
  There's no space to watch the sky

  Cause I'm high above
  In my castle in my tower
  And I'm twiddling thumbs
  Turning minutes into hours

  And I don't know if you'll ever have the time
  But if you're free
  Then I would love for you to share some of mine
  If you're free
  Then I would love for you to share some of mine

  Come tell me all your stories
  And I'll tell you dozens more
  Tales of happy ever after
  Queens and folklore

  But lords and dukes and princes like you
  Must prioritise
  I'll blow bubbles out my window
  And watch days of years go by

  Cause I'm high above
  In my castle in my tower
  And I'm twiddling thumbs
  Turning minutes into hours

  And I don't know if you'll ever have the time
  But if you're free
  Then I would love for you to share some of mine
  If you're free
  Then I would love for you to share some of mine
  Some of mine
  Some of mine
  Some of mine

• The Loveliest Guy I Know
  Lyrics
  The Loveliest Guy I Know

  You give me a reason to dress up
  You notice
  You pull me out of my head
  To focus

  We can go anywhere
  And stay until they close
  You're the loveliest guy I know

  You put your pen to the page
  And plan things through
  You never let me wait
  When I rely on you

  You leave me with memories
  Everywhere we go
  You're the loveliest guy I know

  You're the loveliest guy I know
  You're the loveliest guy I know
  You're the loveliest guy I know
  You're the loveliest guy I know

  You're nothing short of a jester
  When you want to be
  You remember things
  Even I forgot about me

  We could be just fine together
  Watching grass grow
  You're the loveliest guy I know

  You're the loveliest guy I know
  You're the loveliest guy I know
  You're the loveliest guy I know
  You're the loveliest guy I know

• Overtime
  Lyrics
  Overtime

  You're a headache in pyjamas
  Demanding Weetbix billable hours
  I've got you booked in 5 to 9
  You're my overtime
  You're my overtime

  Snugged up in covers
  Telling tall tales about others
  Squeezing out the daily grind
  You're my overtime
  You're my overtime

  You can be the hardest project that I have
  You can be a pool of problems I can't grab
  You got me broken up, re-reading lines again
  And there's no better pay than to fix it in the end

  You melt me down like honey
  You turn a deal when you wrap around me
  You here is the bottom line
  You're my overtime
  You're my overtime

• Campfire Song
  Lyrics
  Campfire Song

  I took all of the classes
  The smart dude with the glasses
  Took when I chose what to take
  Didn't read the guidelines
  Got stuck on the sidelines
  And I'm struggling with the subject's name

  But I'm here in the barn now
  Helping feed the cash cow
  I'm in the headcount
  Taking student discounts
  Found my own couch in the postgrad lounge
  I'm an overseas student if you want me out
  A perfect P, just off a HD
  Picking up the misprints in the policy
  Cause I'll take what I get when I'm broke
  And I'm always broke so watch me go

  Heya in the courtyard start a campfire today
  Burn up all the class stuff steal the speaker's buffet
  All that we learnt and all that we know
  Has helped us start a campfire watch it glow

  Cause I can highlight with so many colours
  Regurgitate the words of so many others
  I'll answer things I don't know
  Stand by my case take'em on like Rambo
  Blame it on the text, blame it on Freud
  If I'm being honest than I'll blame it on the boys
  My mind's blown out- can I swap with yours?
  I'll add in as a bonus my midsem scores, no?

  Heya in the courtyard start a campfire today
  Burn up all the class stuff steal the speaker's buffet
  All that we learnt and all that we know
  Has helped us start a campfire watch it glow
  All that we learnt and all that we know
  Has helped us start a campfire watch it glow

  This aint good for my health, I can't ask people for help
  I have to post my problems on the web page
  Well I'll post this, add it to the list, wait to be publicly dissed by my tutor
  As they're slaving off for their wage, well yay

  Cause I'm here in the barn now
  Helping feed the cash cow
  And I won't get out
  You can hear me shout
  I'm here to eat, here to meet
  Here to find my records and hit delete
  In the meanwhile I'll have some fun
  Try to prove to my mum that I'm not so dumb

  Heya in the courtyard start a campfire today
  Burn up all the class stuff steal the speaker's buffet
  All that we learnt and all that we know
  Has helped us start a campfire watch it glow
  All that we learnt and all that we know
  Has helped us start a campfire watch it glow
