lyrics

This Age

I think we're ready for something to change before
you try to love me too hard and break something.

This isn't working, the ice is just hurting,
The sweat on your heart is a little concerning.

I've waited right here for as long as I could but
I guess I must change like you promised I would.

The minute it was over
I cried on your shoulder.
Forgetting we shrug so much more now that we're older.
I think we're ready for something to change before
I can convince you we're not.

I think you once promised when this age ended on us
I would crack at the seams or grow up and be honest.
I think you once told me when I was feeling cold,
That was you in my spine shivering for old time's sake.

Wasting away we were wasting away in our
Heads and our hearts and our every day.

We both grew up in a safe on the shelf
so we only know how to grow up by ourselves.

I think this age is ending ending fast, scraping hearts against the mast,
I think this age is on it's knees, growing up is a disease.

I think I'm breaking at the neck, under everything I think,
Over everything my body wants to do with you and me.
I think this age is a disease.

I think my feet are in the tide,
Save yourself, go back inside.
Please tell my mom I'll be home after five.
I think we're ready for something to change before
This age is all that I've got.

Remember that day where we whispered we're gay
Back when we were an us and the world was a they.
But the world broke us down with some stutter she found
And you slipped through the air in my whisper away.

Please don't forget me I'm still only resting,
My plan is to find you in ten years or something.

I think we're ready for something to change before
I try to move on too fast and break something.

This isn't ending this endless pretending
I'm running around like the thoughts here within me so

Please don't forget me
Wasting away we were wasting away.

Please don't forget me
Or my head or my heart or my every day.

The minute it was over
I cried on your shoulder
Forgetting you shrug so much more now that you're older.
I think we're ready for something to change before
This age cannot be forgot.

I think you once said when I was feeling dead
You would hold my head and count to ten
But here I am blue writing letters to you
And my head is rolling over too.

This sorry age,
Between the world we had and the world we tried to save.
