When I Can (Rubbish)

[Verse 1]
We don't make too much waste
Me and my ma can say
So we don't put the bins out
'Til every other Wednesday
Even though my bro and Rach
And a 6-month-old baby
Throw their rubbish in with ours
Take-aways and nappies

[Chorus]
Sorry I could not call you back
You have slipped from my mind again
Don't take it personally, little one
I'll call you back again
When I can

[Verse 2]
I rip up anything with an address
For ma's fear of identity theft
She knows it's practically superstitious
But what reasoning do we have left?
And I don't throw out his post anymore
Language is getting more severe
Fearing that knock upon the door
'Cause his name is on the deeds for here

[Chorus]
Sorry I could not call you back
You have slipped from my mind again
Don't take it personally, little one
I'll call you back again
When I can

[Outro]
All the times I tried to reach out to you
But you decided to throw it all away
