[Verse 1]
Hey, this heat just won't let up
I'm still waiting for a panacea to devour
It burns my skin and makes me blister
I chase the shade just like the comfort of my sister
When I was a boy
[Pre-Chorus]
When I was a boy
I was just a boy
[Chorus]
And I assure you I never meant to go that far
And I'm far from numb
I was just a boy
And I assure you I never meant to go that far
And I'm far from numb
[Verse 2]
Hey, these walls aren't thick enough
I'm still waiting for the wolf to come and blow my house in
He shook us one after the other
He huffed and puffed and watched me run home to my mother
When I was a boy
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Hey, this heat just won't let up
Hey, these walls aren't thick enough
Hey, my heart is cold and rough
Now my walls are big and tough
[Solo]
[Chorus] x 2
