[Verse 1]
You had dreams of Ferrari's and fast cars
I just wanted to be held in my father's arms
You would dance and sing the night away
I was just praying that I might get laid
[Chorus]
Our teenage dreams were different in nature
Purely because you weren't taught that the whole world hates you
I cried in my room all alone
In the place I was taught to call home
[Verse 2]
You would laugh and flirt with all the boys
I'd stay in the background making the right noise
Acting shocked when someone came up to me
Expecting them to ask if my friend was free
[Chorus]
Our teenage dreams were different in nature
Purely because you weren't taught that the whole world hates you
I cried in my room all alone
In the place I was taught to call home

It’s quite a personal track for me as it explores themes of abandonment and rejection and comparing myself to my peers at the time. Illustrating a difference of circumstance.
