Lyrics

Intro

Yeah

Picture this

Red and white stripes thick black-rimmed frames

Wandering through the absolute chaos of concrete and traffic

Listen

Verse 1

Red-and-white beanie yeah I'm stepping out the page

Left the storybooks behind now I'm stepping on the stage

Spent a lifetime hiding out in a sea of puzzle parts

Now I'm navigating streets where they don't care about your heart

Dropped the walking stick laced up battered kicks

Trading cartoon crowds for these modern-day bricks

Got my glasses on my face but the focus getting blurry

Everybody in the city in a perpetual hurry

Used to hide inside a festival a beach or outer space

Now I'm dodging rental scooters trying to keep up with the pace

Looking for a moment just to blend into the floor

Except the world ain't a page you can close anymore

Got a passport now left the illustrations flat

Tell me how a guy is supposed to maneuver out like that

Chorus

Cause I'm Wally in the real world looking for some quiet space

Trying not to stand out with this stripes-upon-my-face

They be shouting out my name when I'm waiting for the train

Hey I found you man it's driving me insane

Just a traveler lost in a labyrinth of steel

Tell me how it looks tell me what is real

Yeah I'm Wally in the real world dodging every gaze

Trying to survive through the modern-day maze

Post-Chorus

Find me find me find me now

Find me find me find me now

Verse 2

Walked right into Tesco just to grab a pint of milk

Silk shirt nah cotton but my movement smooth as silk

Cashier took a double-take scanning up my code

Said you've been missing since '87 down the Oxford Road

Laughing it off pay the contactless fee

Stepping out the sliding doors into British misery

Pissing down with rain wind howling through the street

Got my bobble hat soaked while I'm pounding on the concrete

Where's Odlaw probably dodging taxes in the city

Wenda's at the gaff wondering why I'm acting shifty

Wizard Whitebeard's stuck back home with a scroll

While I'm out here searching for a purpose and a goal

It's a madhouse out here security is tight

CCTV cameras flashing red through the night

You think being hidden in a crowd is a game

Try living in a world where they all know your name

Chorus

Cause I'm Wally in the real world looking for some quiet space

Trying not to stand out with this stripes-upon-my-face

They be shouting out my name when I'm waiting for the train

Hey I found you man it's driving me insane

Just a traveler lost in a labyrinth of steel

Tell me how it looks tell me what is real

Yeah I'm Wally in the real world dodging every gaze

Trying to survive through the modern-day maze

Post-Chorus

Find me find me find me now

Find me find me find me now

Bridge

No magnifying glass gonna save you from the bills

No fictional crowd gonna cover up the thrills

Just a guy in a sweater trying to find his own peace

Hoping that the chaos of the city finally cease

Chorus

Cause I'm Wally in the real world looking for some quiet space

Trying not to stand out with this stripes-upon-my-face

They be shouting out my name when I'm waiting for the train

Hey I found you man it's driving me insane

Just a traveler lost in a labyrinth of steel

Tell me how it looks tell me what is real

Yeah I'm Wally in the real world dodging every gaze

Trying to survive through the modern-day maze

Outro

Red and white

Still got the stripes

Just trying to find where I belong when the book closes you know

Yeah

Wally out
