if only i could

so focused on self-perfection
taking life advice from a video app
sitting on the sofa
preaching how it's over for you

did you hear about jane?
she went travelling
and found herself in the middle of france
but you can't be arsed

it shouldn't be me to tell you this
just think for once
before you piss it away

and life's too short?
go fuck yourself, mate
i can change when i want to change

is that the best you've got?
if only i could
look at all these people living
if only i could

have you heard rob?
he's got a brand new car
hasn't he done well?
since his dad sold the bar

and anna's had a kid
but i think she regrets it
six years on and she's doing the same things
texting boys like they're toys
you know, i think she should be looking for somebody else

is that the best you've got?
if only i could
look at all these people living
if only i could

did you raise yourself on jealousy?
and you push it back on me
and how am i supposed to give a shit?
when you're acting like a dick

saying you're stuck here
when literally everything
you've been suggesting
involves a change of scenery

is that the best you've got?
if only i could
look at all these people living
if only i could
