Restless

You think, I haven't tried
You wanna keep me tied
Fresh out the institution
Now it's time I provide
Anxious on the inside, concealing wounded pride
A victim of expectations
I don't want to realise

'Cause I'm restless
My roots don't stretch so low and I'm reluctant to grow
How don't you get this?
When you've been here before, green and wanting to explore it all
It makes me restless
But responsibility's another chapter for me
So claim the page
Wipe it clean
And illustrate
With anything

Now, staring in the mirror at the lines across my face
Hoping that a sun hat will chase the age away
But boasting with my tight clothes and knowing that I'm safe
That I've still got lots of time and that it's never too late
Kids out on the grass and poppin' bottles in the park
Lazing in a sun trap only waking when it's dark
I guess we could try harder but delusion is our gold
It's the medal for a champion whose never growing old

And we're restless
Our roots don't stretch so low and we're reluctant to grow
How don't you get this
When you've been here before, green and wanting to explore it all
It makes us restless
But responsibility's another chapter for me
So claim the page
Wipe it clean
And illustrate
With anything

Anything

So I let myself loose
Clinging on with all my youth
No opportunity refused
No need for an excuse to be
Out cold
Waiting for a taxi but not going home
Be bold
'Cause I'm scared, I'm scared of getting old
