Red Brick Paradise

[Verse 1]
Find your diaries
Pull apart the plastic
Let’s get all nostalgic
We should think about
When we were fifteen, wondering what it all means
And we still don’t know
Garden shed talk
Trying to shake the week off
Smoking on a see-saw
Never think about anything at all outside of our little world
And all the ten guys go out with the ten girls, oh

[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna know why
We let the whole thing pass us by

[Chorus]
I don’t want to know what fear feels like
Oh, I just wanna live forever
In this red brick paradise
Oh, I don’t ever wanna know what real life feels like
Oh, I just wanna live forever
In this red brick paradise

[Verse 2]
Every Friday, someone’s in a right state
Gotta learn the hard way
Only think about pulling all-nighters
Can I borrow your lighter?
Four cans for a fiver
But shit, I miss it

Oh, no one wants to stay here
But no one wants to leave
I think we’ll be in trouble if we burst our little bubble, boy
I don’t know what to believe, to believe, to believe

[Chorus]
Oh, I don’t want to know what fear feels like
Oh, I just wanna live forever
In this red brick paradise
Oh, I don’t ever wanna know what real life feels like
Oh, I just wanna live forever
In this red brick paradise

[Bridge]
One night, when it got dark
I went back to our park
And oh dear
It was awkward, and it felt weird
So I got up, and I walked round
To your house and the church grounds
There was no one to call for
So I just knocked on my own door
Oh, I just knocked on my own door

[Chorus]
I don’t want to know what fear feels like
Oh, I just wanna live forever
In this red brick paradise
Oh, I don’t ever wanna know what real life feels like
Oh, I just wanna live forever
In this red brick paradise
This red brick paradise

[Outro]
One night, when it got dark
I went back to our park
And it felt wrong
That life went on when we were gone
