lyrics

I didn’t know
When I left home
What I was getting myself into
So I packed one bag
And I took a plane
Hoping when I landed
My old life wouldn’t be the same

I walked those Glasgow streets
All by myself
I decorated my closet
And I put up pictures on the shelf
Did you hear me?
I decorated my closet
And I put up pictures on the shelf
But nothing from my old life
Would ever be the same
Did you really expect it to?

I took that Clockwork Orange
To the School of Art
Where I dabbled in photography
Hey, well it’s a start
I wrote a lot of letters
Sent them across the pond
But before you knew it
I met a Scottish boy
Whom I’ve grown very fond…of

So then I walked those streets
With a hand in mine
Drank lots and lots
And lots of pints
But don’t worry I was fine
Did you hear me?
I met a
Handsome
Scottish
Medical
Student
Who has the same name as me—
But don’t worry I’ll be fine
Believe me, I never expected this
But I’m also not complaining
In fact, with you
I don’t think
I’ll ever complain again
Nope
