i'm starting to dread the beginning of school,
seeing as my days pass by so fast with work and birthdays.
it scares me to know how fast we age,
and suddenly we're one year older.

some of us embrace the little financial independence we get,
some of us use the car as a vehicle to be more of an adult on the road,
and some of us take one step further with whom we love.
and some of us still get left behind, nervous and breaking into pieces,
a little reminder that we're not that old after all.
funny how all of these can be summarised into one concept.
not that it solves it at all.

i see it in a different way.
but for now, i'd suffice with being young.

lately you make me feel all i am is a back-up plan
i say i'm done and then you smile at me and i forget
everything i said.

i buy into those eyes
and into your lies.
