It's gone 2:30 and I'm not up yet
You're home early and unexpected
I'm sorry the house is such a tip

I meant to do housework but I didn't get around to it
I know it looks a lot like I've just been lying in bed
But I'm working really hard writing songs in my head

See that ambitious look in my eyes
This week I mop floors, next week I make fries
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my **** together

Dinner with your parents is tough to get through
Avoiding the question, 'What is it that you do?'
But, to be fair
No one who works in a chip shop wants to be there

There's no money on my credit card
It's an awkward situation
When I try to pay the restaurant bill
With just my imagination

See that ambitious look in my eyes
Last week I mop floors, this week I make fries
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my **** together

It's hard to not let your ambitions fall flat
Coming home every night smelling like chip fat
There's a nicotine stain on my brain
From trying to turn my life 'round again

See that ambitious look in my eyes
Any problems, I take them in my stride
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my **** together

See that ambitious look in my eyes
To work part time I put some money aside
It's not gonna be like this forever
It's just until I get my **** together
