letra de gasping for air - joe banks

[verse 1]
he knew that he was different
not by fault or design
but by the expectations
that kept him asking why

he’d walk home every night
knowing that he had to hide
only seventeen
but with a mess of a mind

[pre-chorus 1]
now when he’s home, he feels alone
cold shoulder from the ones he knows
the most, but they don’t know him
and they couldn’t care at all

[chorus 1]
they watched a boy
grow into a man
they wish he’d listen
wish that he’d understand
settle down, straighten up
be a man of this world
of shame and suffering
this world that’s left him
gasping for air

[verse 2]
he started coming home late
and he’d smell like the night
drowning in the comfort
of cheap booze and delights

but even in the bars, the clubs
this judgement runs rife
but as long as he’s got a bottle
he tells himself he’ll be fine

[pre-chorus 2]
these quick escapes, and little lies
won’t fix his broken state of mind
when he’s young
and he’s crying for help
and they couldn’t care
at all

[chorus 2]
they watched a boy
grow into a man
they wish he’d listen
wish that he’d understand
settle down, straighten up
be a man of this world
of shame and suffering
this world that’s left him
gasping for air

[bridge]
he tried to find the words
to express his plight
when they don’t know
the fragile meaning of a life
he really tried, he really tried
but they didn’t care at all
now he, he can’t care at all

[chorus 3]
they watched a boy
grow into a man
they wish he’d listen
wish that he’d understand
settle down, straighten up
be a man of this world
of shame and suffering
this world that’s left him
gasping for air
they watched a boy
grow into a man
they wish he’d listen
wish that he’d understand
settle down, straighten up
be a man of this world
of shame and suffering
this world that’s left him
gasping for air
