Crazy Mixed Up Kid

A song that I began to write whilst still at school, that feeling of the world closing in on you, closing down your dreams, time to 'get real'. I recorded it much later in the 2010s. Just another crazy mixed up kid That's how they explained away everything he did He's living for his own self Living in this own world He doesn't want our help Cos he doesn't think we care Give him a couple of months to work things out Give him a chance to find what life is all about Then take him out of his shell Bring him into our world Then we can soon tell if this kid is going anywhere But in his mind he can fly so high And float along rivers long run dry But what do you do when they're closing in on. you What can you say when they take it all away When all the fools rush in to give away their time They leave the pieces of their dreams on walls too high to climb It's no-one's fault, it happens But when it does, don't let your heart get broken Don't let it burn your soul away Just another crazy mixed up kid That's how they explained away everything he did
