Lyrics The Parlotones

The Parlotones

Window Shopper

You bury your dreams deep inside

It's up to you to breathe in life

The chemicals of goosebumps

The chemicals of butterflies in stomachs

It's up to you to realise

If you never try, then you'll never fail

If you never fail, then you'll never gain

And you'll be a window shopper

Don't just stand there window shopping

You're a secret master of disguises

Pretend to be happy, you big fat liars

The formula of "could've been's"

Swallowed up by cautious routines

Changing Mr. Compromise

If you never try, then you'll never fail

If you never fail, then you'll never gain

And you'll be a window shopper

Don't just stand there window shopping

Are you marching, are you marching

Are you marching to someone else's drum?

You bore me with sorrow

You bore me to death

If you're still window shopping

And we're born as dreamers

Amongst the non-believers

Who are called a genius

And it's easier said than done

The man in the mirror says

I am a window shopper
