Coming of Age lyrics
by Olive Klug
[Verse 1]
I've been skipping meals and dodging plans
And listening to pop punk bands
I'm tired of tryna fake it like it's fine
Been yelling at my friends
And staying online 'til 3 AM
Hey teacher could you please extend my deadline
[Pre-Chorus]
I swore that I'd be done by now
But I need another year or two
To finish developing my mind
[Chorus]
Oh I'm a toddler running through the bank
They told me I'd grow out of all this adolescent angst
Why do I still relate to Lady Bird
And Taylor Swift makes me feel heard
It's like my pen is stuck to the last page
And I can't finish my damn coming of age
[Verse 2]
I count thе New Year's days I nevеr changed
The only difference is the pain
Piercing my temples every morning
A quarter century but I’m still me
Now with an overpriced degree
I haven't seen since graduation
[Pre-Chorus]
Sure I’d love to grab coffee soon
But I might not text you back 'til June
I'm not busy I'm just full of reservations
[Chorus]
I'm a toddler running through the bank
They told me I'd grow out of all this adolescent angst
Hate that I still relate to Lady Bird
And Taylor's got a way with words
It's like my pen is stuck to the last page
And I can't finish my damn coming of age
[Bridge]
What's the point of growing up
When it's obvious the world is f*cked
By stuff someone thought up before my time
So I'll clean my toilet, pay my bills
Eat my salad, take my pills
In a box inside a city that's on fire
No wonder why I always wake up tired
[Chorus]
I'm a toddler running through the bank
I don't think I'll grow out of my existential angst
I’ll skip the philosophical pretense
'Cause Kierkegaard's a little dense
I can't focus drawing doodles on the page
Of this never ever ever ever ever ever
Ever ever ever ever ever ever ending
Coming of age
[Outro]
La dada da da da
Da dada dada da da da da dada dada
Dada dada dada dada dada da
