Marigold - Junior year

{Verse 1}
Oh, to be young
Already wistful for youth
Oh, to be strung to the wishes of somebody
Old and more tired than you
All that we sing
Was never in any way new
Quietly hung from the frames we outrun
And the flea-bitten shoulders of truth

{Instrumental}
(Hmmm)

{Verse 2}
Tell me I’m wrong
Speak with the wisdom you bought
Selling your songs to the sad men in suits
So the real world could give you a shot
Quiet and strong
But I wish you said what you thought
Drag me along so I learn to love concrete
And leave all my flowers to rot

{Bridge}
Tell me it’s foolish
To hold on so tight
Maybe I’ll closе up
Tell me it’s childish
To feel so alive
Maybе I’ll grow up

{Verse 3}
I’m so confused
I don’t know which role to play
All of the shoes I try on sit unused and alone
At the end of the day
Nothing to lose
‘Cause I don’t think I wanna stay
Stuck in the noose between what I believe
And the things people want me to say
