How R U

[Verse 1]
When you're a kid you dream big
You heard about life but you're not sure what it is
When you're old you miss this
You go to the gym to compete with the fit kids
When you're young you want exploration
Pop stardom and world domination
When you're old you lose desperation
All the shouts and the exclamations

[Pre-Chorus]
Sixteen, seventeen, eighteen
Facing things that you ain't even facing
While your head's spinning out of places
All the drugs, and the hobbies, and the boyfriends
Get high, tell your friends that you love them
Get shy, you're a mess on the weekend
Be nice when you talk to your parents
Try surviving your adolescence

[Chorus]
The dreaded question, how are you?
How's your life and what do you do?
Life's a bit like dot, dot, dot
I'm okay but I'm not
The dreaded question, how are you?
How's your life and what do you do?
Life's a bit like dot, dot, dot
I'm okay but I'm not

The confusion, the heartbreak, the joy
What, what, but I wanna see the boy
It's awful, it's great, it's blue
In truth, I have no clue what to do
The confusion, the heartbreak, the joy
Play money like I play with my toys
It's awful, it's great, it's blue
I'm kind of scared, I don't know about you

[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm young and I have fun
Got the humor of my dad and the strength of my mum
Who goes to the shop and buys things
Like, boots, anti aging cream
I tell her that she's beautiful how she is
That's kind of rich coming from a girl who's fears
Include not looking good for the boys
Getting nervous that I make them annoyed

[Pre-Chorus]
Sixten, seventeen, eighteen
Facing things that you ain't even facing
While your head's spinning out of places
All the drugs, and the hobbies, and the boyfriends
Get high, tell your friends that you love them
Get shy, you're a mess on the weekend
Be nice when you talk to your parents
Try surviving your adolescence

[Chorus]
The dreaded question, how are you?
How's your life and what do you do?
Life's a bit like dot, dot, dot
I'm okay but I'm not
The dreaded question, how are you?
How's your life and what do you do?
Life's a bit like dot, dot, dot
I'm okay but I'm not

The confusion, the heartbreak, the joy
What, what, but I wanna see the boy
It's awful, it's great, it's blue
In truth, I have no clue what to do
The confusion, the heartbreak, the joy
Play money like I play with my toys
It's awful, it's great, it's blue
I'm kind of scared, I don't know about you
