Of all the things i've learned from hanging around this place One thing's for sure, nothing stays the same Like pictures in the clouds, like the way it is right now With no one else to blame, this is an awkward age I grew up right here, with the sun in my backyard On the left coast with the right amount of everything good Now the walls replace the trees Like the wants replace the needs And now i can't behave in this awkward age And now i can't behave It's always something else these days It's a brand new book, it's a clean white page And yesterday is long gone I made a short list of things that i need to feel complete But now i've lost my place This is an awkward age But i haven't lost my way Tell me that you'll always stay Please stay I finally sucked the clouds out of my head And i'm finally catching up to my age But it's only a number, a tiny piece of forever to hold on to And when i think of forever and ever, i think of you
