[Verse 1]

You've had the same toothpaste for as long as I remember

And every time I use it I see a child in the bathroom mirror

The second smallest in my class

On his own and the end of Scarborough Pier

Wondering how he got this far

And if he'd ever jump from here

[Chorus]

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada)

Wondering how he got this far

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if he'd ever jump from here

[Verse 2]

You've had the same loose gate for as long as I remember

In decent light it's beautiful but unhinged we are weathered together

And I still tear myself apart

In the dark on my own and the of my tether

Wondering how I got this far

And if I'd ever jump from here

[Chorus]

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada)

Wondering how I got this far

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if I'd ever jump from here

[Verse 3]

And I hope you are proud of what you have become

My boy I'm not an author but I'd still write for fun

You should've listened to your dad

And learnt guitar when you were young

It'd saved me as a teen and excusing dropped notes as a punk

But I know there are times when your mind works against you

You'll learn early signs, ride it out and you'll breakthrough

Something big is coming where your bro will really need you

So be strong for him, you got this only run if he comes with you

Don't jump

[Chorus]

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada)

Wondering how he got this far

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if he'd ever jump from here

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Ba Bada-Ba)

Wondering how he got this far

(Ba Ba-Bada, Ba Ba Bada-Ba-Bada) And if he'd ever jump from here
