The Moments I’m Missing (Stripped Version)

[Verse 1]
I had a dream, I had a dream when I was only five
To work at a bar, I wanted to see over the other side
And I had a friend, her name was Fern and she had a blue bike
So we'd ride through the streets
And I would sleep over on Saturday nights
Then I went to school, my family moved to a village nearby
At thirteen years old, I started drawing black under my eyes
'Cause I met a boy, first time I kissed him, well it was the last
'Cause I got afraid when everyone there started moving too fast

[Pre-Chorus]
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I never took in when
I was just standing there wishing
I could grow up and my life would be different
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been so caught in the motions
Forgetting right where my home is
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
These are the moments I'm missing

[Verse 2]
In the back of her mum's car, on the way to the old bars, yeah
Raising my anxiety, using her sister's ID, yeah
In a skin-tight short skirt, sixteen and we danced till our feet hurt
But I had a dream, I had a goal
Got a guitar and a camera phone
Then over the time, I started racking up numbers online
At the end of July, I met somebody who changed my life
And then I was signed and falling in love for the very first time
But that fucked me up, so then I had issues with falling in love

[Pre-Chorus]
These are the moments I'm missing
There are the moments I never took in when
I was just standing there wishing
I could grow up and my life would be different
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been so caught in the motions
Forgetting right where my home is
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
These are the moments I'm missing

[Bridge]
Ah-ah
Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ah
Now these are the moments I'm missing

[Chorus]
'Cause I've been so caught in the motions
Forgotten right where my home is
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
These are the moments I'm missing
'Cause I've been so caught in the motions
Forgotten where my home is
Oh, yeah
Now these are the moments I'm missing

[Outro]
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
These are the moments I'm missing
