about

A song Colm shortly wrote after becoming a father for the first time with twin boys. Having grew up without a father it brought up complex and bittersweet thoughts for him and this song jumped the queue being so new. It is our producer Dan Ponich favourite song on the album.

lyrics

I gotta friend who hasn't seen his baby in a long time
He said his baby mamma's crazy
She's Straight out of her mind

But I've heard it all before
That she won't open the door
Well maybe you need to do a little more
I think you need to step up
Before too much time passes by
So much you'll never catch up
O no
Well you've used every excuse under the sun
But have you done enough?
'Cause I would walk the world to see my baby

You said you tried to give her cash
And that she refused it
And every time you try to compromise
The both of you lose it
I'm under no illusions that she couldn't be bitter
But you know and I know
You could have done better
You call each other evil when you're just incompatible

O Ive heard it all before
That she won't answer the door, well
Maybe you need to do a little more
I think you need to step up
Before too much time passes by
So much you'll never catch up
O no
Well you've used every excuse under the sun
But have you enough?
'Cause I would walk the world to see my baby
Yes I would walk the world to see my baby
O I would walk the world to see my baby.
