Every day is the same but you gave me a brand

new set of numbers
G#                     A#
Life's in a different colour

Thinkin' in figures of eight and it's easy 'cause
I know what it adds up to
Every day is the same but you gave me
a brand new set of numbers
Life's in a different colour

Chorus:
Would you dance for me too?
We'll make Peppa Pig plasters the coolest new trend
I never asked for my childhood to end

I'm trapped in my tiny human brain and it's
killing me
But I'm fine, yeah I'm alright
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
I'm trapped in my tiny human brain and it's
killing me
But I'm fine, yeah I'm alright
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
If I move my hands fast enough I won't die
