Bigger Picture

Waiting up your face is red

I'm drunk again and home at way past 10

Your numbers on the wall you said

But they meant something different in my head

I would shout cos I believed

You were way too hard on me

You would never give permission

I was sitting in the kitchen crying

Papa you would have been different

But you were doing more than 9 to 5

You get older and it hits ya

17 I was a ***** to ya

Now I see the bigger picture

Packed a bag late one night

Walked out tall but water in my eyes

Called a cab and took a ride

But came back smaller swallowing my pride

I would shout cos I believed that you were missing part of me

You would never give permission

I was sitting in the kitchen crying

Papa you would have been different

But you were doing more than 9 to 5

You get older and it hits ya

17 I was a ***** to ya

Now I see the bigger picture

I thought life was made for me

A hundred thing I couldn't see

Thought I was cool and you were mean

I was so naive

You would never give permission

I was sitting in the kitchen crying

Papa would have been so different

You would never give permission

I was sitting in the kitchen crying

Papa you would have been different

But you were doing more than 9 to 5

You get older and it hits ya

17 I was a ***** to ya

Now I see the bigger picture
