Football Friends

It’s so good to see you

It’s been a hard year

And I’m glad we won’t talk about it

You show me your tattoos

Of the names of your kids

Will I ever get one, I doubt it

Cause I always knew that I wanted more

But I never knew what I wanted it for

Sometimes I’m jealous

Sometimes I’m torn

When I see my football friends

It’s strange to be back

The air is so clear

It used to taste suffocating

And I’m drunk at the town hall

On Christmas Eve

With all the familiar faces

I always knew that I wanted more

But I never knew what I wanted it for

Do I wanna die

In the place I was born

Like all of my football friends

U-hu-hu-hu

It’s a beautiful game

It’s a beautiful game

I’ll come back next year

And I’ll be a success

But you don’t believe me now do you?

I been telling you this since 2019

But maybe I’m just a late bloomer

I always knew that I wanted more

But one day I‘ll know what I wanted it for

And I’ll hold my head high

When I walk through the door

And I see my football friends

And I see my football friends
