Why Do I Get Older Lyrics

Mum I'm in love with a girl

Dad I just can't see the world

Like you do

My mind broke down on

The street

Therapy told me I'm a freak

Now I see

I don't know where I belong

Simple thing where have you gone

I'm much older now

What if there really are

No surprises

All we ever get is a bit of time

To live and die

Why do I get older

Why did you tell me the world

Is big now

I'm just another small town prick

Gone in a sec

Why do I get older

Sorry I ain't your dream girl

Don't wanna give up my

Whole world for someone

A thousand volts running

Through my brain

Wanna go where I've never been

Will I die

What if I was never meant to be

What they told me I was

And I believed

But I'm so much older now

What if there really are

No surprises

All we ever get is a bit of time

To live and die

Why do I get older

Why did you tell me the world

Is big now

I'm just another small town prick

Gone in a sec

Why do I get older

Why do I get older

I wonder if I always kind of

Took for granted

All the things I miss

But ignorance is bliss

Now I know that growing up

Would only take me far away

From what I want

What if there really are

No surprises

All we ever get is a bit of time

To live and die

Why do I get older

Why did you tell me the world

Is big now

I'm just another small town prick

Gone in a sec

Why do I get older

Why do I get older

Why do I get older

(Why do I get old)

(Why do I get old)

Why do I get older and older and

(Why do I get old)

(Why do I get old)

Why do I get older
