Schofield writes about his adolescence and loneliness, and seems to regret his experiences which have made him feel older than he is.
[Verse 1]
There's a beast on my back
I wanna throw it off the edge
Got his claws down my neck
And I'm running out of breath
I'm weighed down to this town
And I've got no friends
And my mind is so kind to keep me out of it
[Chorus]
Talk to me before anybody sees
Don't wanna feel like this, when I'm only 17
Talk to me before anybody sees
Don't wanna feel like this, when I'm only 17
[Verse 2]
There's a beast on my back
I wanna throw it off the edge
Got his claws down my neck
And I'm running out of breath
I'm weighed down to this town
And I've got no friends
And my mind is so kind to keep me out of it
[Chorus]
Talk to me before anybody sees
Don't wanna feel like this, when I'm only 17
Talk to me before anybody sees
Don't wanna feel like this, when I'm only 17
(I wanna run from me, I wanna run from me)
(I wanna run from me, I wanna run from me)
(I wanna run from me, I wanna run from me)
(I wanna run from me, I wanna run from me)
