Well I’ve played the game and I’ve run my race
Held my ground but I know my place
I’ve been down, but I’m up, when I’m with you

I’ve stayed out late and I’ve lost my way
Propped up bars with naught to say
But I’m calm when I’m home, with you

These boys of mine are holding the line
But I know you’ve moved house a dozen times
Happy photos on the fridge don’t lie

I’m getting a place that’s warm and safe
Home for us all ’til you graduate
No more lying awake in your sleep

You are more than a part-time hustle
in a city where the pretty win and homeless shuffle
You are more than a part-time hustle
time to roll my sleeves up and flex some muscle
You are more than the money I’m earning
and I have told you that I am yearning for more
So much more than right now
So much more than we have right now

I’ll be there to light the way
through the Autumn rain and the winter grey
And if trouble comes along we’ll work out

If you carry yourself with poise and grace
And start each day with a smiling face
then I’ll know I’ve taught you well

So I’ve etched a plan on the back of my hand
Escape to the country on a block of land
And I hope you might join me there

Invite your friends to sit by the fire
Bit of Bon Iver on the guitar
And I hope, you might join me there

You are more than a part-time hustle
in a city where the pretty win and homeless shuffle
You are more than a part-time hustle
time to roll my sleeves up and flex some muscle
You are more than the money I’m earning
and I have told you that I am yearning for more
So much more than right now
So much more than we have right now
So much more than we have right now
