Of all the things i've learned from hanging around this place

One thing's for sure, nothing stays the same

Like pictures in the clouds, like the way it is right now

With no one else to blame, this is an awkward age

I grew up right here, with the sun in my backyard

On the left coast with the right amount of everything good

Now the walls replace the trees

Like the wants replace the needs

And now i can't behave in this awkward age

And now i can't behave

It's always something else these days

It's a brand new book, it's a clean white page

And yesterday is long gone

I made a short list of things that i need to feel complete

But now i've lost my place

This is an awkward age

But i haven't lost my way

Tell me that you'll always stay

Please stay

I finally sucked the clouds out of my head

And i'm finally catching up to my age

But it's only a number, a tiny piece of forever to hold on to

And when i think of forever and ever, i think of you
