At some point we grow up
We grow our hair so we won't be embarrassed to look back
And we spend so long with each strand dyed
The only way back is redoing it our natural colours
Or the closest thing that the packet offers
At some point we grow up
In age it's true, but in our heads we're still just teenagers
Struggling for air in a sea as frantic as bad simile
The ones you learnt around Year 3
And no-one knows what's going on inside
Remember that next time
At some point we grow up
we grow to realise that no-one really ever does
And we struggle for a decade still looking for a hand to hold like you
And that hand won't come
But that doesn't matter
Eveyerbody's lost it's true
But everyone's lost together
At some point we grow up
You abound ablaze a black and white indie film
And the lives we live in heads of friends and strangers
They're your world too
To be a trampoleening child they see
A walking dress-sense
Or someone's Amelie
At some point we grow up
And feeling since we're past whatever age we can't achieve our soundtrack dreams
Laid out by films you thought had stolen your essence
The ones that meant you didn't need to become a director
Because someone had written yourself better than you ever could
Than you ever could
Than you ever could
Than you ever could
Than you ever could
