Lyrics: Helen Tian
Music: Helen Tian
I’m not your golden boy and I don’t think I’ll ever be
Sunk my teeth into ya don’t know what came over me
He’s in the palm of your hand
He’s the man I get it
But maybe give me a chance you won’t regret it nah-ah
If I ticked off your boxes give me a sign
If I f*ed it up just say so it’s alright
Holding onto you like I’m your biggest fan
Never left my mark and my jokes don’t land
While you’re paragliding in Peru
I’m losing my head getting over you
(Yeah I’d)
Sell my soul just to be in his shoes
What do I have to lose
Positively nothing
You see me hanging on for life
But you don’t ever seem to mind
Please don’t patronize me
Do be kind
Not your golden boy
Still I’ll put up a fight
He was 22 then
I’m the same age now
What did he have that I don’t
Not a safe bet
Always been a wildcard
But I mean I found you
Already got this far, so
If I ticked off your boxes give me a sign
If I f*ed it up just say so it’s alright
Holding onto you like I’m your biggest fan
Never left my mark and my jokes don’t land
While you’re paragliding in Peru
I’m losing my head getting over you
(Yeah I’d)
Sell my soul just to be in his shoes
What do I have to lose
Positively nothing
You see me hanging on for life
But you don’t ever seem to mind
Please don’t patronize me
Do be kind
Not your golden boy
Nah, hmmm
My father thinks I’m deluded
And my Momma says I need to let go
(They keep saying)
What you said
You never meant it
It’s a dud it’s a dead end road
(Oh really?)
While you’re paragliding in Peru
I’m losing my head getting over you
Sell my soul just to be in his shoes
What do I have to lose
Positively nothing
You see me hanging on for life
But you don’t ever seem to mind
Please don’t patronize me
Do be kind
Better than him
I’ll bet you my life
My father thinks I’m deluded
And my Momma says I need to let go
What you said
I hope ya meant it
Still got my fingers wrapped around your rope
