"Kyle" lyrics
You were standing outside the bus stop
I drove past in a brand new range
And then suddenly it hit me
I flashed back and I saw your face
It's too late
I can't pull over now
And if I did, what would I say?
It's been twenty five years since school
About eighteen since you left the estate
And I know that life's not been treating you great
Cause I heard from a
Well I don't want to say a mutual mate
But he walked past you outside the Asda
You were sat on the floor
And he asked you
If you wanted anything
And you just said
I'm alright
Kyle
I know it's been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets they don't hold the change
The change you really need
I pulled up to a nice warm house
And I felt so guilty
Should I turn back round?
Why do I feel so guilty?
Wasn't my fault
We were both born with the same blue print
In the same streets in the same town
In the same size house
Look around and you soon think
Why me, not you?
And why you, not them?
Cause a couple didn't get past eighteen
And a few we know are doing time again
So swings and roundabouts
Tell me watch your where abouts
Cause I still want to help you out
Kyle
I know it's been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets they don't hold the change
The change you really need
I walked in and I sat on the sofa
Grabbed the laptop
Plugged in the microphone
And that's pretty much where I am now
Sunday and I'm all alone
But I know she'll be back soon
And I know that she loves me
And I'll tell her about this
And she'll know why it bugs me
And she'll say that I've got a big heart
And you can't help everybody
Jonny don't blame you
It's been twenty five years or more
So you're basically a stranger
And you never saw me
So you don't know what you're missing
But I'll find you and buy you a coffee
And just listen
Kyle
I know it's been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets they don't hold the change
The change you really need
Kyle
I know its been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets they don't hold the change
The change you really need lies deep in you
The change you really need lies deep in you
I drove past in a brand new range
And then suddenly it hit me
I flashed back and I saw your face
It's too late
I can't pull over now
And if I did, what would I say?
It's been twenty five years since school
About eighteen since you left the estate
And I know that life's not been treating you great
Cause I heard from a
Well I don't want to say a mutual mate
But he walked past you outside the Asda
You were sat on the floor
And he asked you
If you wanted anything
And you just said
I'm alright
Kyle
I know it's been a while
I know you're in denial
But my pockets they don't hold the change
The change you really need
I pulled up to a nice warm house
And I felt so guilty
Should I turn back round?
Why do I feel so guilty?
Wasn't my fault
We were both born with the same blue print
In the same streets in the same town
In the same size house
Look around and you soon think

And why you, not them?
Cause a couple didn't get past eighteen
And a few we know are doing time again

The change you really need lies deep in you
The change you really need lies deep in you
