[Verse 1]
Front seat of my brother's car
13 with a rebel heart
So afraid I've lost my sense of humor
Burnt CD's stuck on repeat
Cigarette ash in the back seat
When growing up seemed like such a rumor
[Pre-Chorus]
I was anxious I was nervous
I was scratching at the surface
I was younger then I'd ever be
And older than I was
[Chorus]
I was coming of age
[Verse 2]
Ten and two hands on the wheel
Swore this love was something real
Truly thought that we would ask forever
But he would cheat and I would leave
And we'd become a memory
I'd move away before the end of summer
[Pre-Chorus]
I was anxious I was nervous
I was difficult on purpose
I was younger then I'd ever be
And older than I was
[Chorus]
I was coming of age
Coming of age, coming of age
I was coming of age
[Post-Chorus]
There's an age to everything
Everything
Everything
[Chorus]
I was coming of age
Coming of age, coming of age, coming of age
I was coming of age
Coming of age, coming of age, coming of age
To everything
[Outro]
Scissors in the kitchen drawer
We'd cut our hair when we got bored
Afraid of romantic disomense would smother out the fire
Back and forth and in-between
My troubled heart is evergreen
At the end of innocence I thought I'd be wiser
