Part of the Plan

You're a good mum

Horrid thing to go through

It just wasn't part of the plan, was it?

There's a plan?

I used to believe that too

I've always had a head full of dreams

Thought I'd be a rebel rock-star

But I was never as punk as I believed

Playing wonderwall on the air guitar

Head in the clouds living for the highs

Found a few bad habits kissing sloozy guys

Midnight smiles and bad tattoos

Like I had nothing in the world to lose

And shit happens

That's all that it takes

When at a hundred miles an hour

Life slams on the brakes

I laid strong foundations

But when they refused to stand

I thought my only choice was giving up

'Cause this was never part of the plan

But, how do you begin to process that?

I spent months hating compromise

I didn't wanna hear it

Who was this girl I didn't recognise?

Where was her fighting spirit?

Stuck at a crossing always looking behind

That young crowd-surfer at the front of my mind

Took almost losing her to finally see

I wasn't gonna let this take the very best of me

And shit happens

Least when you'd expect (least when you'd expect)

And only once it's far behind you

Can you see what happens next

The world can be confusing

But soon you'll understand

Trusting every turn ever taken

Was always part of the plan

Was always part of, part of the plan
