Late summer sky, two colors deep, three wide and a third all by And set to try to take away the shadows from your eyes You shift and sigh, do we live fully grown when we learn to cry? This is why I never hold a grudge against you, love But hey, this is the future And we don't grow up like that Oh we grow teeth and we grow nails And we scratch to the bottle when we need Hey, this is the future And we don't grow up like that Oh we grow teeth and we grow nails And we scratch to the bottle when we need One body bends, one body twists and breaks and the lifetime is We rush to amend the situation but it happens all the time I could pretend to think fondly of half the summer that I spent In the wilderness, playing soccer and kissing girls But hey, this is the future And we don't grow up like that Oh we grow teeth and we grow nails And we scratch to the bottle when we need Hey, this is the future And we don't grow up like that Oh we grow teeth and we grow nails And we scratch to the bottle when we need And we learn to be ashamed of each other And we learn to be ashamed of ourselves One busy street, one flock of birds that scatters beneath my feet All these simple things they stick to me like truth, like ice, like fire
