Lyrics

[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 speaking parts
But I guess I was the playwright
Oh, oh-whoa, oh
[Verse 2]
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-whoa, oh
[PreChorus]
I wish I would've seen it sooner
[Chorus]
Why did it take me
Ages to say it?
I wasn't your cliché
Oh no, this is my coming of age
[Chorus]
Oh oh, my coming of age
Oh oh, my coming of age
[Verse 3]
I'm quarrying new ground
And I'm burning 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-whoa, oh
[PreChorus]
I wish I would've seen it sooner
[Chorus]
Why did it take me
Ages to say it?
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
[Bridge]
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
Ages to say it?
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
