Adult Things Lyrics

And so the days go fleeting

Can't trust those candle spells –

It hurts my friends are breaking

The worst is they all do it well

There is no golden thigh to view

No Paris in the spring

Yet I still feel a tingle or two

Waiting for adult things

We slip away in the confusion

We embrace and flee

Nothing like sex to ruin

A sense of intimacy

I know I know it's tiring dear:

Light people lighter flings

Yet some of us are smiling here

Waiting for adult things

And they say desire is passing

But I've wanted you from the start

The prayers don't change

With time or age –

Just spread to different parts

Now I stand within the garden

At Holy Comforter

There's snow upon the marble

And a work that won't endure

I'm aging very fast these days

I look for lines to sing

And sometimes I go past play

Waiting for adult things
