Oh Children

[Verse 1]
We promised each other we'd run away
Together, speeding down the interstate
We'd talk all night about the future
Make up plans 'bout where we'd stay

[Pre-Chorus 1]
We envisioned so much for our lives
But forgot that we could see with our eyes

[Chorus]
Oh children
Forgetting what youth we possess
Throwing it away any chance we get
Am I more mature yet?
Oh children
Bruised with our distant pasts
Rubbing slates clean until we can't
Am I all grown up yet?

[Verse 2]
Prank calling our neighbours, hoping they wouldn't recognise
But now they don't, cause nobody's home anymore
Micromanaging all our time
Cause our parents are coming at five, but now I gotta drive myself home alone

[Pre-Chorus 2]
We envisioned so much for our lives
To our younger years we pulled a gaslight

[Chorus]
Oh children
Forgetting what youth we possess
Throwing it away any chance we get
Am I more mature yet?
Oh children
Bruised with our distant pasts
Rubbing slates clean until we can't
Am I all grown up yet?

[Bridge]
Now I'm tuning
Now I'm tuning
Now I'm tuning the radio
Searching
And I'm searching
And I'm searching for any hellos
Tuning
Now I'm tuning
Now I'm tuning the radio
But no one's home

[Chorus]
Oh children
Forgetting what youth we possess
Throwing it away any chance we get
Am I more mature yet?
Oh children
Bruised with our distant pasts
Rubbing slates clean until we can't
Am I all grown up yet?

[Chorus]
Oh children
Forgetting what youth we possess
Throwing it away any chance we get
Am I more mature yet?
Oh children
Bruised with our distant pasts
Rubbing slates clean until we can't
Am I all grown up yet?
