Lyrics
I'm early twenties and I barely recognize my face They say I grew up, but I think that I just grew in place Keep playing Punchbug 'cause I've never gotten in a fight It's not my bedtime until right around the time it gets light Skipping breakfast every morning Drinking coffee close to black Overdrawn but overdriven Tell the world I'll pay it back I want to explore I want a pirate crew I want to stay up late and build treehouses with you We'll sit on statues We'll count red cars I'll draw a treasure map and put the X where you are It's hard to keep up when nobody set the bar for us Still playing the games that they taught us in back of the bus I can't be sure if being mature's worth all the bother Keep treading lightly 'round sore subjects like the floor was lava I want to explore I want a pirate crew I want to stay up late and build treehouses with you We'll sit on statues We'll count red cars I'll draw a treasure map and put the X where you are I want to play tag I want to lose I want to eat Fruit Gushers and then turn your tongue blue I'm early twenties and I barely recognize my face They say I grew up but I think that I just grew in place No need for reasons Except that it's fun Can't miss your closed-eyed grin through the scope of my Nerf gun We've crashed the party Played hide and seek I've watched you walk on walltops, cursed myself for being meek I want to explore I want a pirate crew I want to stay up late and build treehouses with you We'll sit on statues We'll count red cars I'll draw a treasure map and put the X where you are
