Highfield

I can't believe you're walking down here to pick me up with our friend

And I've only slept and showered since you walked me home again

I could spend all my time with you, and you know I wouldn't mind one bit

You want me to stay safe, but I wanna forget the world for the evening

I'm gonna take self-defense, so don't worry yourself about me

I'll only leave the house without getting changed once in a while

But there's nothing like a red dress on a cloudy day in the park

Makes the birds sing a little louder, makes my heart beat a little prouder

But each time I reach my door shaking screams from my head

And rivers from my eyes take my makeup off for a work call

And try to forget about the road outside

I wish the whole world was High field, I wish it stretched right to my door

And over Broom Lane with its cars and its horns, and its shouts and the staring

And I wish the whole world was High field

Overgrowing red bricks in the sun

Along Watts Street, sun against the catkins

Against bare branches against the high clouds
