When I broke out it was a cold November pain
I used to wake up but things always stayed the same
Crying softly on the soccer fields
"Everything seems such a great appeal when I’m grown”
When I’m grown
The boys in class liked the cool and confident girls
The conversation lacked and my thoughts went unheard
Overanalyzed my mixed tapes
I gave me such a splitting headache
But now I’m grown
Now I’m grown
All those times they’re hard to miss
But I'm still hanging on
All those times they’re hard to miss
But I'm still hanging on
Through all of this
You used to tell me things and I would then tell you mine
Our shared affection reigned, I’d call and you’d reply
We both knew we were ready
So we made out to Tom Petty
I stopped asking and you kept all those things inside
We drowned in apathy, now you just don’t reply
It fell apart too soon, I sighed, you sighed
Now you’ve become just a waste of time
