Wet trousers in the washing machine, |
|
but I'd rather be damp than seen in jeans. |
|
I'm grown up now but refuse to learn |
|
that those were just adolescent concerns. |
|
I'm possibly missing something |
|
someone should have told me. |
|
A record collection reduced to a mixed tape, |
|
headphones on I made my escape. |
|
I'm in a film of personal soundtrack. |
|
I'm leaving home and I'm never got a come back. |
|
I'm learning lyrics from the CD inlay |
|
to impress people with the stupid things I say. |
|
I'm grown up now but refuse to learn |
|
that those were just adolescent concerns. |
|
I'm possibly missing something |
|
someone should have told me. |

|
I used to have a bedroom to hide in, |
|
but now I'm outside deciding. |
|
Older but wiser, |
|
this song's the decider. |
|
Is it the sound of a man wrestling with emotion, |
|
or the sound of him losing |
|
and causing commotion? |
|
I'm nothing to my peers, |
|
but envy and hatred. |
|
How many girls have they seen naked? |
|
