Acting My Age

Take me to a place where they call me Allie and I would call you

Where the border of this town split us in two

Dye my hair in your parents’ bathroom, call up the boys

You always knew what to say and I didn’t

Cool girl with little ambition

There was a time only you and I

Could decide between wrong and right

Make a day last a whole life

Before we ever knew what loss felt like

Scheming in parking lots

Oh sneaking out after dusk

My every move a subplot to your grand plan

Icing out the bad guys

The time I made you cry

Just to lose you in the end

Am I better off what I know now

Is small talk our new language

How the hell did we change that much

When we swore we’d never change

Oh maybe I’m just acting my age

Thought I saw your cousin the week after Christmas at the mall

Looked the other way then looked again for way too long

I think I’m on the outside of the world’s biggest inside joke

Best friends to strangers to someone I used to know

We were scheming in parking lots

Oh sneaking out after dusk

My every move a subplot to your grand plan

Icing out the bad guys

The time I made you cry

Just to lose you in the end

Am I better off what I know now

Is small talk our new language

How the hell did we change that much

When we swore we’d never change

Oh maybe I’m just acting my age

Scheming in parking lots

Sneaking out after dusk

My every move a subplot to your grand plan

Icing out the bad guys

The time I made you cry

Just to lose you in the end

Just to lose you in the end
