Maisie Peters - Coming Of Age lyrics
[Maisie Peters - Coming Of Age lyrics]
Your face in fluorescent looks
Different in the daylight
Like was it a love affair or
Just a lot of late nights?
Like you had the speaking parts but
I guess I was the playwright oh, oh woah
I couldn't escape you like the
Airwaves of the bassline
And I couldn't erase you like
A tattoo on my waistline
If it was a first kiss
How come it felt like a snakebite?
Oh, oh woah
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age
I'm caught in new ground and
I'm burning all your CDs
Baby, I am the Iliad
Of course you couldn't read me
So I'll leave you behind
But that don't mean it's easy
Oh, oh woah (Oh, oh, oh)
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
I send my silence away
Printing my blood on the page
You stole my love and I paid
But, you couldn't keep what you couldn't take
I know I made you the big star
I let you butcher my big heart
But, it's my song and my stage
And it's my coming of age
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
But God, I wish that I could've seen it, God
Different in the daylight
Like was it a love affair or
Just a lot of late nights?
Like you had the speaking parts but
I guess I was the playwright oh, oh woah
I couldn't escape you like the
Airwaves of the bassline
And I couldn't erase you like
A tattoo on my waistline
If it was a first kiss
How come it felt like a snakebite?
Oh, oh woah
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age
I'm caught in new ground and
I'm burning all your CDs
Baby, I am the Iliad
Of course you couldn't read me
So I'll leave you behind
But that don't mean it's easy
Oh, oh woah (Oh, oh, oh)
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
I send my silence away
Printing my blood on the page
You stole my love and I paid
But, you couldn't keep what you couldn't take
I know I made you the big star
I let you butcher my big heart
But, it's my song and my stage
And it's my coming of age
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
But God, I wish that I could've seen it, God
