Hours (feat. Nick Afoa)
The hours we spend, oh yeah
The hours we spend on this life, for a minute
I think I'd do it again
Remember that conversation we had about where we thought we'd end up at?
I don't know what we had in mind but I know if we had our time again
We could be posted up where we want to be instead of where we went so,
whenever the weekend came we could spend the day in bed sleep pretend.
Power up like a super saiyan they would try to say that I skipped a step
Every now and then thought I was gonna be different, guess I was incorrect.
Meant to be whatever I believed in but what it was is kinda hard to see
cll that time I spent sleep deprived like auto-pilot was a part of me.
I was playing cops and robbers with the girl I liked but didn't know her name
Fantasize like I'd treat her nice but when the time was right I would hide away
I didn't wanna be the one to gun down the chance that I had to take
you to the place that we'd said we go but, no clue how to fly a plane
It all came and went in one afternoon, too enthused by a rugby game
It didn't matter who we played, I was all caught up in a parking space
c can of Fanta and a plastic camera, used to pretend I was Peter Jackson
Same name wonder how it happened. I don't know think it must be magic
The hours we spend, oh yeah
The hours we spend on this life, for a minute
I think I'd do it again
Remember when I tried to drive in that subdivision couldn't read a manual
Next day I still don't know where I lost a pair of my favourite jandals
cll sweet running down the beach, I would try keep up with a tumble weed
Hold on like pohutukawa roots, bare feet getting cut to pieces
Remember when I made a Milo in a way every time had to be the same
Caught up in the minor things koz I thought it mattered in a major way.
Even when I bought a bag of pick'n'mix I would take my time and wait.
Wonder what I'm going to want in five, always save one for the after taste.
Same day I remember when I would try be king of the jungle gym.
Slam dunk on a flying fox like a copy cat in combat to win.
Take time to protect myself, I didn't want to seem weak around. c contestant in popularity, a common case that I was in.
Complex as a coffee cup, blend in like a tiger skin. In the same polifleece, old as a flinstone vitamin.
Gone are the days that went, replay when I get to bed.
Hold on trying to make it last like sand castles when the tide is in.
