Caroline's Spine - Quarter Century New lyrics

rate me

You see the posters up around my room

And you ask me if I'm going to get up soon

And I say I think I'm fine here today

I know you wonder about the friends I run with

And I know you rifle through my room when I'm out

You'll never find out what I'm about

But I hear you no matter what you think

Because I know there is good in all your preaching

What I am I got from you

But you need to learn how to listen to me

I won't grow because life can be so cold

I'm going to live in my dreams

I'll die to see them through

I don't want to wake up a quarter century older

Wanting to be a quarter century new

Quarter century new

Did my time

I got through school

Left it all and made my rules that day

The day I got away

Different time I'm a different person

And I grew into the look you thought was a curse for so long

Ill always be a little to far gone

But I hear you no matter what you think

Because I know there is good in all your preaching

What I am I got from you

But you need to learn how to listen to me

I won't grow because life can be so cold

I'm going to live in my dreams

Even if I die to see them through

I don't want to wake up a quarter century older

No wanting to be a quarter century new

Quarter Century New
