[Intro]
Welcome to A Skateboard Soirée
Beats by C1, raps by Allday, everyday
Let me introduce myself
[Verse 1: Allday]
I'm twenty-one and stupid
I tell all my poems to everyone through music
I just moved alone to a new city
It's kinda cool but I wish I had my crew with me
Not to mention my dad and my nana Mary
Or my grandfather, who I had to bury
And I'm missing my little brothers too
And my mother too, and my cousins too
And the innocence I had just a year ago
And I'm drinking, but it's not any clearer though
There's many nights here when I feel alone
But even when I go back now I ain't really home
The future side of it is on my mind a bit
Seems like only yesterday I was a tiny kid
And I know it all seems like some minor shit
But my faith in myself is dying quick
[Chorus: Allday]
So if you come and get me
I'm gonna run away from here
So maybe come and tell me
Baby, you gotta stay right here
In my world, na-na-na-na na-na
[Bridge: Luke Gray]
Please don't tell me you love me so
'Cause I'll come running right on home
And please don't tell me you love me so
'Cause I'll come running right on home
[Chorus: Allday]
So if you come and get me
I'm gonna run away from here
So maybe come and tell me
Baby, you gotta stay right here
In my world, na-na-na-na na-na
[Verse 2: Allday]
And I'm insecure, got no inner peace
Got my inner demons all roaming in the streets
And I'm insecure, got no inner peace
Got my inner demons all roaming in the streets
And I'm insecure, got no inner peace
Got my inner demons all roaming in the streets
And I'm insecure, got no inner peace
Got my inner demons all roaming in the streets
[Chorus: Allday]
So if you come and get me
I'm gonna run away from here
(Runaway, runaway, runaway now
Runaway, runaway, runaway now)
So maybe come and tell me
Baby, you gotta stay right here
In my world, na-na-na-na na-na
[Interlude]
"That's funny, that's really funny"
"No, no..."
"Mm-hmm"
"Stop it!"
"Ready? This is from me"
"Nice and drunk!"
[Verse 3: Allday]
Uh, they say you got one, that's cool
Well nowadays everybody's got two
But if you had her, then you get it
Well mine's better than yours, there, I said it
'Cause man, I miss my girl the mostest
Trying to focus on this big world of showbiz
She's back at home studying scholarly
And I'm so proud of her commitment to her law degree
But she should be here courting me
Skype every night, looking at her eyes longingly
There's pain in 'em, that's how I know that
If a guys sweats her, she will tell 'em, "No, thanks"
And if a girl sweats me, I tell her, "Nah"
But most of the time I stay home pending bars
Here in this bedroom with my heart black
Just waiting for her plane on the tarmac
My World was written by Allday.
My World was produced by C1 (USA).
This is about my experience of leaving Adelaide and moving to Melbourne. The first verse is dedicated to my life in Adelaide. The second verse is dedicated to my girlfriend who I left in Adelaide.
