Maisie, in her pre-album release posts described the song as
coming of age is a song about redefining your role in your narrative; for so long i gave so much magic and story and power to other people, orbiting around them, believing they were the special. writing this album was me realising that ma...
[Verse 1]
Your face in fluorescent looks different in the daylight
Like, was it a love affair or just a lot of late nights?
Like, you had the speakin' parts, but I guess I was the playwright
Oh, oh, oh
I couldn't escape you like the airwaves of the bassline
And I couldn't erase you like a tattoo on my waistline
If it was a first kiss, how come it felt like a snakebite?
Oh, oh, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I would've seen it sooner
[Chorus]
Why did it take me (Eh, eh, eh)
Ages to say it? (Eh, eh, eh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age
[Verse 2]
I'm quarrying new ground and I'm burnin' all your CDs
Baby, I am the Iliad, of course you couldn't read me
So I'll leave you behind, but that don't mean it's easy
Oh, oh, oh (Ah, ah, ah)
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
[Chorus]
Why did it take me (Eh, eh, eh)
Ages to say it? (Eh, eh, eh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
[Bridge]
I send my silence away
Printing my blood on the page
You stole my love and I paid
But you couldn't keep what you couldn't tame
I know I made you the big star
I let you butcher my big heart
But it's my song and my stage
And it's my coming of age
[Chorus]
Why did it take me (Eh, eh, eh)
Ages to say it? (Eh, eh, eh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age
[Outro]
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
God, I wish that I could've seen it, God
Coming Of Age was written by Maisie Peters & Tove Burman & ELVIRA.
Coming Of Age was produced by ELVIRA.
Maisie Peters released Coming Of Age on Fri Jun 23 2023.
I made “Coming Of Age” on my last trip [to Stockholm] with two amazing writers and producers, ELVIRA and Tove [Burman]. We unpacked our lives at Babette and then spent two days writing two songs, both of which I think you’ll hear in this era. Making music with them was like making music with myself;...

There’s a song on this album called ‘Coming of Age’, which is a song about the fact that—how to put this?—sometimes I give magic to people. I think they’re magic, but they’re not: I just wrote them that way or I created them that way. You pin all your hopes and dreams on them. And the song, to me, i...
