wait

"I bet you think it's easier to lie to yourself,
even got yourself believing you're better off with somebody else,
so you sacrificed your security,
cause your impatient self couldn't wait for me,
and you settled for the first thing through the door"

'when homework turns into essays and exams,
when schoolgirls turn into sluts
when detention turns into suspension
when skipping school turns into skipping work
when juice turns into alcohol
when lollipops turn into cigarettes
when getting high meant getting on a swing
when wearing a skirt didn't make you a slut
when protection meant wearing a helmet
when the worst thing you could get from girls were cooties
when race issues were about who was the fastst
when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth
when the most pain you felt was scraping your knee

...and we couldn't WAIT to grow up'
