Coming Of Age

Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 speakin' parts, but I guess I was the playwright Oh, oh, oh I couldn't escape you like the airwaves of the bassline 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, oh, oh [Pre-Chorus] I wish I would've seen it sooner [Chorus] Why did it take me (Eh, eh, eh) Ages to say it? (Eh, eh, eh) I wasn't your cliché Oh, no, this is my coming of age [Post-Chorus] Oh, oh, my coming of age Oh, oh, my coming of age [Verse 2] I'm quarrying new ground and I'm burnin' 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, oh, oh (Ah, ah, ah) [Pre-Chorus] I wish I woulda seen it sooner [Chorus] Why did it take me (Eh, eh, eh) Ages to say it? (Eh, eh, eh) I wasn't your cliché Oh, no, this is my coming of age [Bridge] 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 [Chorus] Why did it take me (Eh, eh, eh) Ages to say it? (Eh, eh, eh) I wasn't your cliché Oh, no, this is my coming of age [Outro] 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
