"52" lyrics

I know you're tired of it all
But you can talk to me
I know this stuff's not as easy as it's supposed to be
Yesterday, you were just a boy
Now you're feeling older than you ever have before
It's as common as the flu
As certain as the sun rising and falling over you
I think we should have left those views
In post-war Britain, '52

I'm sorry for being so unaware
I'm sure that you're frightened, I'm just as scared
'Cause I don't know what I'd do without you
So, let me disperse the blue
You wanna sleep for an eternity
Fade into obscurity
Oh, help me understand your wheel

I know you're sick of it all
So, you should talk to me
I know this stuff's not as easy as it's supposed to be
Each day's a little heavier than the last
Every morning, waking with a funeral for the past
It's as sudden as the night
It creeps up from behind
As useless as smokes without a light (Hey)
Escape to university
Forget about your history

I'm sorry for being so unaware
I'm sure that you're frightened, I'm just as scared
'Cause I don't know what I'd do without you
So, let me disperse the blue
You wanna sleep for an eternity
Fade into obscurity
Oh, help me understand your wheel

Come down friendly bombs, hit the city
Rain down, pepper the ground
They're waiting for you
Waiting for you
Come down friendly bombs, hit the city
Rain down, pepper the ground
They're waiting for you
Waiting for you
Come down friendly bombs, hit the city
Rain down, pepper the ground
They're waiting for you
Waiting for-

I'm sorry for being so unaware
I'm sure that you're frightened, I'm just as scared
'Cause I don't know what I'd do without you
So, let me disperse the blue
You wanna sleep for an eternity
Fade into obscurity
Oh, help me understand your wheel

Come down friendly bombs, hit the city (I'm sorry for being so unaware)
Rain down, pepper the ground
They're waiting for you (I'm sorry for being so unaware)
Waiting for you
Come down friendly bombs, hit the city (I'm sorry for being so unaware)
Rain down, pepper the ground
They're waiting for you (I'm sorry for being so unaware)
Waiting for-
