Never had a birthday or a first date I didn’t cry on
Well, there’s only been one date
But last May I turned twenty-one
Really takes the cake
There’s salt on my face
On the nights I’m supposed to celebrate
But you know that I’m a stickler for tradition

I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true
But I’m a masochist who can’t read the room
What a joy to be alone
And always aging
Blow the candles out
As the lights go down
He said, “I want you in the worst way now”
I’m terrified that my life is always changing

Oooh
Oooh

Never had a blank page or a clean slate I didn’t write on
I overfill my cup and my luck
And I drink till it’s all gone
If this is a joke
Then the punchline goes,
“The years fly fast and the days go slow”
And humor is my coping mechanism

I wouldn’t say it if I hadn’t learned
But I’m a pacifist who craves self burns
What a joy to be alone
And always aging
Smile on the count of three
He reached for my hand on a crowded street
I’m terrified that my life is always changing

Oooh
Oooh

I’m one foot out and one foot in
Why’s it feel like a race
To the life I want and
Why am I obsessed with competition?
In six months will I know what to do?
Will I have my answer at twenty-two?
Something tells me
That’s an unlikely premonition
My key is turning, turning, turning
In my ignition

I wouldn’t say it if it wasn’t true
But I’m a masochist who can’t read the room
What a joy to be alone
And always aging
Blow the candles out
As the lights go down
He said, “I want you in the worst way now”
I’m terrified that my life is always changing
