When I've Grown Lyrics

Anger should not drive your words

I learned that young

'Cause the fire in your mouth

Leaves only a burnt tongue

I see kids shedding skins

Fitting once they've grown

Mine is getting heavy

But it's the only one I own

I'll come of age eventually

'Cause Time waits for no man

So she must wait for me

I can dance pretty well

But you wouldn't know

After walking on eggshells

I'm light on my toes

Nighttime kisses my face

Drops stars in my eyes

When I'm starting to drown

Everything dries

I'll come of age eventually

'Cause Time waits for no man

So she must wait for me

You can dance on my grave all you like

But I'm not going down without a fight

'Cause I've the rest of my life to die

So why would I choose tonight?

My name in your mouth

Sounds so strange

When I've grown up a bit

Maybe you'll have changed

You'll have changed
