You think, I haven't tried

You wanna keep me tied

Fresh out the institution

Now it's time I provide

Anxious on the inside, concealing wounded pride

A victim of expectations

I don't want to realise

'Cause I'm restless

My roots don't stretch so low and I'm reluctant to grow

How don't you get this?

When you've been here before, green and wanting to explore it all

It makes me restless

But responsibility's another chapter for me

So claim the page

Wipe it clean

And illustrate

With anything

Now, staring in the mirror at the lines across my face

Hoping that a sun hat will chase the age away

But boasting with my tight clothes and knowing that I'm safe

That I've still got lots of time and that it's never too late

Kids out on the grass and poppin' bottles in the park

Lazing in a sun trap only waking when it's dark

I guess we could try harder but delusion is our gold

It's the medal for a champion whose never growing old

And we're restless

Our roots don't stretch so low and we're reluctant to grow

How don't you get this

When you've been here before, green and wanting to explore it all

It makes us restless

But responsibility's another chapter for me

So claim the page

Wipe it clean

And illustrate

With anything

Anything

So I let myself loose

Clinging on with all my youth

No opportunity refused

No need for an excuse to be

Out cold

Waiting for a taxi but not going home

Be bold

'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared of getting old
