[Verse 1]

He told me I felt ageless, an eighteen year old with insight

And something about that made me wince, it didn't sit right

Did I grow up too fast? Or did I trick you into thinking I did?

Underneath this mask I'm embarrassingly childish


[Chorus]

Is it the way I carry myself? The space that I take up?

Did my shins give it away? Not nearly hairless enough

Am I not what you expected? Too self aware, too chill

Am I too much woman to be a teenage girl?


[Verse 2]

My friends are all in college, I finished high school early

I'm not gonna show but you could at least invite me to the party

When he told me I don't seem young, I think he wanted me to thank him

Tell me I'm wise, but let me be dumb, I'm a walking contradiction


[Chorus]

Is it the way I carry myself? The space I take up?

Did my shins give it away? Not nearly hairless enough

Am I not what you expected? Too self aware, too chill

Am I too much woman to be a teenage girl?


[Verse 3]

Eight acting eighteen, now I'm eighteen acting eight

I can't keep my room clean, can't keep a schedule straight

I don't know what I'm doing and I think that that's okay

For the first time in my life I want to act my age

For the first time in my life I want to act my age
