[Verse 1]

Last time I checked this

Wasn't real life

And we were just kids

Last time I checked, I wasn't a mess

Just a little undid

Last time I checked

Last time I checked

Last time I checked

I didn't agree to this

And I never signed a contract

Growing up wasn't

Part of the plan and

I was never really a fan of

Getting old or giving up

But it seems inevitable now

[Chorus 1]

Naivety's never been so appealing

And I'm obsessed with ignoring the feeling

I'm about to have to start dealing in unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire

And all the pain that living will inspire

It's got me running from all I admired

To avoid the feeling

[Verse 2]

Cinderblocks on your feet

It's time to float now

You gotta swim or

Find yourself drowning

Roses rise from your face

You gotta cut them

No one can see that you

Are full of loving

Or god forbid they

Deem you the weakling

And cut you from the cast

You've become nothing

[Chorus 2]

Naivety's never been so appealing

And I'm obsessed with ignoring the feeling

I'm about to have to start dealing in unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire

And all the pain that living will inspire

It's got me running from all I admired

To avoid the feeling

I'm sinking in unfamiliar things

[Bridge]

And I don't want to waste my time

Just trying to get by

And I don't want to waste my time

Just trying to get by

[Chorus 3]

Naivety's never been so appealing

And I'm obsessed with ignoring the feeling

I'm about to have to start dealing in unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire

And all the pain that living will inspire

It's got me running from all I admired

To avoid the feeling

I'm sinking in unfamiliar things

To avoid the feeling

I'm sinking in unfamiliar things
