I got caught shoplifting when I was a teenager
I don't do it anymore so there isn't any danger
and I broke my brother's nose when I was 21
we all do silly things when we're young and that surely was one
I got scared of messin' up
so scared of messin' up
but I'm not scared of messin' up any more
My attempts at romance all went south
I had no idea what to do when I opened my mouth
but the smallest of blows can bet be hardest of knocks
when you're young and those bad luck burs get stuck in your socks
I got scared of messin' up
so scared of messin' up
but I'm not scared of messin' up any more
x2
Well I went round the world and made some good time friends
I talk to a few most I'll never see again
I've got friends that dance, I've got friends that sing
I've got friends that listen and that's not such a small thing
I got scared of messin' up
so scared of messin' up
but I'm not scared of messin' up any more
