Champagne Supernova

Upmost respect to you Dear Mr Hill
What you say you’re gonna do is what you will 
You’ve always done it, pulled yourself away
You stand by every word you say 

Through the eyes of society, you’ve done it, aren’t you proud? 
You’re not in a mansion, but your feet are on the ground 
You haven’t let trauma fuck with your life 
Two beautiful girls, a devoted wife 

“She” said to me one day 
What you gonna be when you’re older? 
“Like Alex” I said 
Shrugging my shoulders 

“Fucking soldier” she said 

It didn’t mean much then, I was a kid, I just said it 
But I’m 24 now and I know that I meant it 
I didn’t mean I’d mimic every move that you make 
Though I have stole most of your music taste 

I meant I just wanted to be as strong as you 
As wise and successful and as armoured as you 
You’ve been through the mill, there’s no doubt in my mind 
That your life is how it is now, through years of grind 

I see why you’ve done it 
Separated yourself 
I don’t fucking blame you 
I’m gonna aswell 

We shared a lot in life I just want you to know 
That you are with me wherever I go 
You’ve played a role of the absent for me 
An uncle, guardian, a father, I know it’s deep 

But, 
You make me proud
You always will
My champagne supernova 
Then and still
