The Dark Side of Adult
A hole in the ground, filled with water
We're half-dressed, freshmen, my chest is barring entry inside
And you're not you yet
You're someone's daughter
And we're knee to knee in a tub
And I'd rather run and hide
Allison said it's been a while since I saw you
And her hand went up and touched my shoulder
And the back of my head exploded
But I won't answer to that name
Until my braces have long come out
And you'll have moved into the dark side of adult
And I'll still be waddling around
Music
We're on the roof of an elementary school, I'm sixteen
We've got one deep in her jacket
And two using each other like gasoline
And I haven't nearly the skills to understand how I'm feeling
Why two years later when the world picks sides
And my friends are freewheeling
I'll ask them how does it feel to be far from home
As if I'm not at that moment holding on
For dear life as a jet-ski drags me
Through open water at lightning speed
Away from where I was doing fine
Shutting my eyes
Water coming in and filling my lungs, my chest, my spine
Filling my lungs, my chest, my spine
Filling my lungs, my chest my spine
Allison said it's been a while since I saw you
And her hand went up and touched my shoulder
And the back of my head exploded
But I won't answer to that name
Until my braces have long come out
And you'll have moved into the dark side of adult
And I'll still be waddling around
Waddling around
We're half-dressed, freshmen, my chest is barring entry inside
And you're not you yet
You're someone's daughter
And we're knee to knee in a tub
And I'd rather run and hide
Allison said it's been a while since I saw you
And her hand went up and touched my shoulder
And the back of my head exploded
But I won't answer to that name
Until my braces have long come out
And you'll have moved into the dark side of adult
And I'll still be waddling around
Music
We're on the roof of an elementary school, I'm sixteen
We've got one deep in her jacket
And two using each other like gasoline
And I haven't nearly the skills to understand how I'm feeling
Why two years later when the world picks sides
And my friends are freewheeling
I'll ask them how does it feel to be far from home
As if I'm not at that moment holding on
For dear life as a jet-ski drags me
Through open water at lightning speed
Away from where I was doing fine
Shutting my eyes
Water coming in and filling my lungs, my chest, my spine
Filling my lungs, my chest, my spine
Filling my lungs, my chest my spine
Allison said it's been a while since I saw you
And her hand went up and touched my shoulder
And the back of my head exploded
But I won't answer to that name
Until my braces have long come out
And you'll have moved into the dark side of adult
And I'll still be waddling around
Waddling around
