[Verse 1]
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start movin' like you're running out of time
The realisation coming over your mind
That it should be a canter

[Chorus]
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
Mare' than half ae' the time

[Verse 2]
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start graftin’ ‘cause you're running out of time
The roof is on fire and it’s raining outside

[Chorus]
But it should be a canter
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you were just a wee bit less of a wanker
Mare' than half ae' the time

[Refrain]
Because the hardest part of the game
Isnae even playing the game
It caring enough to care about the things that you're daein'
Oh, it's a wee cryin' shame
Here comes the rain
[Verse 2]
This is the beginning of the rest of your life
You better start graftin’ ‘cause you're running out of time
The roof is on fire, it’s raining outside

[Chorus]
But it should be a canter
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you were a wee bit less of a wanker
Mare' than half ae' the time

[Middle-eight]
They tell you it's no easy
They tell you that it's hard
They tell you it's impossible to mend a broken heart
The lead role in a tragedy, pretending that it's art
And it's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to start
A' coulda write a stanza and put you in a song
Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong
Flashbacks to the only place I've felt like I belong
You'll never be a king, when you're acting like a pawn

[Outro]
Because the hardest part of the game
Isnae even playing the game
It’s caring enough to care about playin’ again
Oh, it's a wee crying shame
Here comes the rain
