I've Given Up! (I'm Sixteen, Let the Madness Consume Me!) Lyrics

Sitting in the backseat of the red jeep trying not to puke

I won't make a peep as you shuffle through the jukebox

And there's something in this shot that tastes like a juice box

But I digress, maybe I'm getting too caught up

In a life I never seemed to find a part of

In some old button up I can't even fasten to the neck

But I wanted to fit in it

Something's shifting and I don't know if it's for the better

Cause all this shit in my head's making it hard to tell

I can't tell you how glad I am that I'm not eleven

But all this progress isn't something i'm handling so well

Lately my dreams haven't focused on the mystic

Lately my dreams have been waking up next to you

If my younger self met me he'd probably think I'm boring

But I'd probably think that he sucked too

Something's shifting and I don't know if it's for the better

Cause all this shit in my head's making it hard to tell

I can't tell you how glad I am that I'm not eleven

But all this progress isn't something i'm handling so well

Is there some meaning within being

Some secret I was never told

Like you won't miss it when you're older

You'll just be sad that you're old

Or how I always knew I'm different

But still can't quite understand why

And going thirty in the backseat

Feeling like I'll never die

And watching things evolve and change and fade

And knowing I'd fade too

But fading into something else, something bigger, something new

And how the things that are so normal now

Always looked so obscene

But here's to one more stupid fucking day of being sixteen!

Something's shifting and I don't know if it's for the better

Cause all this shit in my head's making it hard to tell

I can't tell you how glad I am that I'm not eleven

But all this progress isn't something i'm handling so well
