Tom McBride - Dear James lyrics

rate me

everyone wants to say what’s on their mind

barking along with no thought

Hello, that’s you,

now go get a clue

you’re given two ears and one mouth that’s a fact

Consider the math and don’t ever talk back

to your mum, don’t be dumb

dear James, the laughs on me

dear James, I poured one for two

dear James, no need to explain

dear James

Scars will heal over the lesson will get learned

if you never fall down, you’ll forever get burned

its not cruel to lose,

nah don’t be a fool

hit first and hard don’t ever turn back

look ‘em square in the eye & give em that smirk

that you learned when you were two

dear James, the laughs on me

dear James, I poured one for two

dear James, no need to explain

dear James

all these bromides now fueling the sound

while I keep my head locked and set to the ground

maybe ill laugh just a little bit louder

and keep them waiting for more

do what I say, not what I do

sending signs from me to you

everyone wonders whose eye you begot

never could tell you its your mother who thought

that you’d scream, now don’t be obscene

if everything inside of you is dripping with rage

remember my fate and resist all the urges to stew

don’t be a fool

dear James, the laughs on me

dear James, I poured one for two

dear James, no need to explain

dear James<br />
