Calvinball

I'm early twenties and I barely recognize my face
They say I grew up, but I think that I just grew in place
Keep playing Punchbug 'cause I've never gotten in a fight
It's not my bedtime until right around the time it gets light

Skipping breakfast every morning
Drinking coffee close to black
Overdrawn but overdriven
Tell the world I'll pay it back

I want to explore
I want a pirate crew
I want to stay up late and build treehouses with you

We'll sit on statues
We'll count red cars
I'll draw a treasure map and put the X where you are

It's hard to keep up when nobody set the bar for us
Still playing the games that they taught us in back of the bus
I can't be sure if being mature's worth all the bother
Keep treading lightly 'round sore subjects like the floor was lava

I want to explore
I want a pirate crew
I want to stay up late and build treehouses with you

We'll sit on statues
We'll count red cars
I'll draw a treasure map and put the X where you are

I want to play tag
I want to lose
I want to eat Fruit Gushers and then turn your tongue blue

I'm early twenties and I barely recognize my face
They say I grew up but I think that I just grew in place

No need for reasons
Except that it's fun
Can't miss your closed-eyed grin through the scope of my Nerf gun

We've crashed the party
Played hide and seek
I've watched you walk on wall tops, cursed myself for being meek

I want to explore
I want a pirate crew
I want to stay up late and build treehouses with you

We'll sit on statues
We'll count red cars
I'll draw a treasure map and put the X where you are
