Coming Of Age

歌詞

Your face in fluorescent Looks different in the daylight Like, was it a love affair Or just a lot of late nights? Like, you had the speaking parts But I guess I was the playwright Oh whoa, oh I couldn't escape you Like the airwaves of the baseline And I couldn't erase you Like a tattoo on my waistline If it was a first kiss How come it felt like a snakebite? Oh whoa, oh I wish I would've seen it sooner Why did it take me Ages to say it? I wasn't your cliche Oh no, this is my coming of age Oh oh, my coming of age Oh oh, my coming of age I'm quarrying new ground And I'm burning all your CDs Baby, I am the Iliad Of course, you couldn't read me So I'll leave you behind But that don't mean it's easy Oh whoa, oh I wish I would've seen it sooner Why did it take me Ages to say it? I wasn't your cliche Oh no, this is my coming of age I send my silence away Printing my blood on the page You stole my love and I paid But you couldn't keep What you couldn't tame I know I made you the big star I let you butcher my big heart But it's my song and my stage And it's my coming of age Why did it take me Ages to say it? I wasn't your cliche Oh no, this is my coming of age I wish I could've seen it, God I wish I could've seen it, God I wish I could've seen it, God God, I wish that I could've seen it, God
