Why Can't I Just Be? Video (MV)

Why can't I just be
In an indie teen movie
Stuck on repeat for the rest of my life
Why can't I just be
Sixteen forever
And for forever to be last night
Why can't the universe stop expanding
And collapse so I don't have to be forty-three

Woking an office job
With boring hours and boring wages
Can't even afford to pay off my awful mortgages
Why can't I stay like this forever
With my bottle of peroni
And this amicable weather
Yeah, this amicable weather
Under blue skies
Red eyes
And streetlights
And parties in open spaces,
Gaps in time where nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Why can't I just be

Why can't I just be
In a nineties T.V show
Stuck on repeat for eternity
And why can't i just feel
Like violet forever
I thought I was done with feeling blue

What is happening to me
What is happening to me
What is happening to me
What is happening to me
What does my future hold for me
What does my future hold for me
And why does my life depend on choices that I make at sixteen
Why does no one ever listen to me
When I'm pouring my heart out at the back of a kebab shop on a night out
Talking how I wish I could stay there and cry for a while
Dance for a while
Live for a while
It feels like I'm not gonna live for a while in anytime soon because well
It feels like all the good times are behind me now
