lyrics

I don't want to get older anymore
I don't want to feel it grip me and pull away from who I was
'Cause I know that I'm still here
I just don't write the same
I don't think the same
But I know that I'm still here
I just don't write the same
I don't think the same at all

I reall want to breathe out and for my breathe to turn to steam
Like it did when I was small
Because it doesn't feel the same anymore
And sometimes the saddest songs make me happiest
Because they verbalise the way I feel in ways I'd never thought

Well I just want to lay down
With the ants in the uncut grass
And I'll bring all my friends
And we'll wonder how it is we grew up so fast

My memories smell like Year 5 school trips
Or cooking on Christmas day
Like trips to model railways
Oh I just can't feel it in the same way

Sometimes the crisp and cold makes me happiest
Wrapped in layers I'll step to the beat
When I'm running down The Southbank or Regent Street

When I just want to lay on the ground
With the ants in the uncut grass
And I'll have all my friends
And we'll wonder how it is we grew up so fast

How did we grow up so fast?
How did we grow up so fast?
