Lyrics
You and me in Bay 17 eh
You and I are in Bay 17.
Wide awake in a stadium of dreams eh
I am fully awake in a stadium of dreams.
I’m wearing this bracelet you made me red and white beads yeh
I'm wearing a bracelet you made for me with red and white beads.
You’re telling me like it’s our secret the colours of our team yeh
You're sharing with me, as if it's our secret, the colors representing our team.
And I’ve been caught up
I've been engrossed or entangled in something.
Head down in the biz
I'm focused on my business or responsibilities.
Up for the songs we sing, open up my arms
I'm ready for the songs we sing, opening my arms.
When you come apart, when you um and ah
When you fall apart, hesitate, or express uncertainty, I'm there for you.
none of any of it ever sum it up
None of what's happening can fully encapsulate or describe it.
Do I listen to your mum enough?
Am I paying enough attention to your mother?
Kid, your mum is fucking wondrous
Child, your mother is truly amazing.
Yeh I meant to cuss
Yes, I intended to swear.
I think it’s ok for something so ridiculous
I believe it's acceptable for something so absurd or unbelievable.
Message is mixed, that’s what it is
The message is confusing or contradictory, that's the reality.
And it’s your luck to get stuck with her
It's your fate or luck to be stuck with her (referring to the mother).
I feel the same in the way I ended up with her
I feel the same about the way I ended up with her.
I don’t know much, but of what I promised
I don't know much, but I'll keep my promises.
You’re my better days
You represent my better days.
I owe you my galaxy
I owe you my entire universe or world.
Hope it’s not too late
I hope it's not too late.
I hope I find the words to say
I hope I find the words to express myself.
I fall over when my priorities change
I stumble when my priorities change.
Cos you are, you are, my everything
Because you are my everything.
Learn to swim, I learn to braid
I learn to swim and braid.
Making notes of things you say
I take note of the things you say.
Post em with emoji faces
I share them with emoji faces in the midst of chaos.
In amidst the disarray
Among the disorder, I post it green at the bottom of the page.
Paint it green bottom part of the page
I paint the lower part of the page green.
Colour in the blue sky with yellow sun rays
I color the blue sky with yellow sun rays.
I’ve got a gig and gotta get on a plane
I have a performance and need to catch a plane.
Not before I suspend my age
But not before I pause my aging or temporarily set aside my age.
When you grow up people ask where you come from
As you grow up, people inquire about your origins.
No matter where you leave your mark
No matter where you leave your mark or influence.
You laugh and you sing and you cry
You experience laughter, singing, and crying.
You love and you learn and you share your spark
You love, learn, and share your unique essence or spirit.
And it all comes back to your mama
Ultimately, it all comes back to your mother.
Your softness, your armour
Your gentleness is your protection or defense.
And don’t forget now, of what I promised
And don't forget what I promised.
