Lyrics

Hey you
Put yer chewing gum in my fist
And pass the last over of yer drink
You've known me long enough to know
Yeah I'm in deep and it shows
I met her on grand final day
And from sixteen thousand miles away
Yeah I knew
I was in trouble deep past me boots

You think it's so hard
Alone in the world
Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl

So I strayed (keep your head in the sky)
Til my fingers all burnt in a sneeze (leaving nothing behind)
And I'm holding by the skin of my teeth
She got me grinning like a karaoke king
Without a clue on how the thing begins
And that's where the hell I'll reside
In between the width of her smile
So if you spy me just let me be
I'm far beyond what you knew of me

You think it's so hard
Alone in the world
Yeah well just try keeping up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl

You're never alone
It's you against the world
You're the uninvited oyster next to the pearl
The best lesson I learned

Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
Keepin' up with a beautiful girl
