I don't wanna die young
Don't wanna get old
And stay so warm
That my heart gets cold
So tell me there's a reason
There's something upstairs
And tell me they've been seeing
What's going on down here
'Cause I get to feeling sad
And I miss my mum and dad
Why's it so hard to tell them that?
When you get to a certain age
You miss what you could've had
But don't really want it back
And hope that you're on track
For twenty-two and some change
I just wanna have fun
And have a good laugh
Make a few friends
The kind that last
So tell me there's a reason
There's something upstairs
Tell me they've been seeing
What's going on down here
'Cause I get to feeling sad
And I miss my mum and dad
Why's it so hard to tell them that?
When you get to a certain age
You miss what you could've had
But don't really want it back
And hope that you're on track
For twenty-two and some change
My mind gets caught under the weight
A tide away
A silent maze
Without a way
I ought to give myself some brace
Either way
I'm wide awake
In the bed I've made
And I get to feeling sad
And I miss my mum and dad
Why's it so hard to tell them that?
When you get to a certain age
You miss what you could've had
But don't really want it back
And hope that you're right on track
For twenty-two and some change
