Lo, she's seas apart from me, possessed behind the eyes
Well apart from the frightening, the moaning, the biting he seemed to be a nice guy
And I know what she thinks when she looks at me, when she looks with such despair
You're not the only one around here, who needs a bit of fresh air
[Hook]
Cause I'm a sad sack, post teen
Could have been the love machine
No dream, come clean
Walking like a zombie (Like a zombie)
And I'm a coal train, fast lane
Caught up in the dirty rain
No pain, no gain
Walking like a zombie (Like a zombie)
Well, this old place here, man it's falling apart
She's on the road as she goes but she won't get far
I'm on a show to parole to the toad in the hole
I gotta grow some roots, gotta prop up the bar
I got blood shot eyes, and there's blood in my teeth
I got a ripped up jacket and a friend who's a thief
Well I'm a coughing out my mouth, trying to pull it out
But the fire inside keeps burning, burning out
[Hook]
Hold your own in the situation, don't be afraid to be a friend
Cause I won't hurt you, girl or leave you a loose end
You make me alive enough to love again
[Hook x2]

Love this song. I guess it’s about growing up and accepting adulthood from the “post teen” days. Especially when it comes to love, Jamie T understands there’s so much room for improvement. Love and long term relationships, instead of the short term relationships or one night stands. His only worry is growing up too fast and becoming a Zombie. I may be right or wrong but either way this is one class tune.
