Womanchild - EXPLICIT I wish I could be that weird girl who stole your heart But I'm just weird In the movies this would be the part Where you'd find my flaws appealing Woah, you said grow up Butterflies in my gut eat holes like moths I'm queasy And when the lights come up Your eyes look down Uneasy Woah, you said grow up I said I was sorry, I fucked up again I really, really wanna hold your hand Sorry I threw up in front of your friends Are we talking? Is this the end? I need an adult, I thought it'd be you But I looked in the mirror and I'm one too. Flowers on the counter Waited for your arrival Now they're wilted and brown See you around, once in awhile Woah, you said grow up I said I was sorry, I fucked up again I really, really wanna hold your hand Sorry I threw up in front of your friends Are we talking? Is this the end? I need an adult, I thought it'd be you But I looked in the mirror and I'm one too

Underachiever Hasn't been my day Threw my wishes down a well And my hopes down a drain Maybe I'm to blame One step forward, two steps back My feet drag all the same I don't know if I'll ever be Who I'm supposed to be But I know As I travel down this road I want you here with me Picked up some advice Like a hand-me-down it doesn't fit I need some time To figure out my life I don't want what I should want The milestones passed me by I don't know if I'll ever be Who I'm supposed to be But I know As I travel down this road I want you here with me And the years come and go And I know that I'll never be Who I'm supposed to be But I know as I travel down this road I want you here with me
