I've been away longer than before
Scared I don't drop my 'R's anymore
Cause I want to be understood where I am
Though my visa states I am an alien
I miss my old friends
I miss my mum and dad
But here's to my sister who carries a child
I'll meet him one day... when they open the gates
Everyone's finding a new way of life
Weddings rescheduled time after time
I've not seen a mouth move for nine months or more
But I still understand you that's what eyes are for
I miss my old friends
I miss my mum and dad
And here's to my sister who carries a child
I'll meet him one day... when they open the gates
I don't think I've changed as much as they say
The neighbour grabs my hair and says I love all the greys
Is it passive aggressive or is it just me?
I've been putting off the pills and talk therapy
I miss my old friends
I miss my mom and dad
But here's to my sister who carries a child
I'll meet him one day... when they open the gates
