Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one ahhh
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one, oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one ahhh
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one, oh two twenty-two
See it's the expectations for me
That make me wanna just skip right over tomorrow
Wanna stay seventeen (seventeen)
But age or time cannot be stolen or borrowed
And I hate to say it
My pride has been torn
I'm so damn complicated
That it's making me sore
What am I doing?
What the hell am I proving?
Numbers are numbers
And you're bound to lose em
Eight-year-old me would be obsessed with
Me at seventeen
I know that in three years I will be laughing
At what I used to be
And I'll be sound
But for now
Ooo I don't wanna grow up
Ooo I'm not ready to grow up
Ooo I'm not ready, not ready, not ready ohhh
I'm not ready, not ready ohhh
Not today, not tomorrow
But in a day it'll be tomorrow
Why am I so scared to turn a decade above eight?
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one ahhh
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one, oh two twenty-two
See I've been dreaming all of my life (my life)
That someday real soon I'm gonna make it big
And the world will be right (right)
But fame fixes nothing, chasing is stupid
'Cause I still walk the same streets
And to most I'm nameless
I've even been on TV
And I'm still not famous
My clock is ticking
My head is spinning
I feel nauseous
And it's the beginning
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one ahhh
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one, oh two twenty-two
Ooo I don't wanna grow up
Ooo I'm not ready to grow up
Ooo I'm not ready, not ready, not ready ohhh
I'm not ready to grow up
I wrote these songs at fifteen
And I sang them at sixteen
And I'm talking to you now at seventeen
I can't bare to turn eighteen
And I hate this whole fucking age thing
It's a mind game that won't stay the same
When I'm twenty will I finally have a name
When I'm thirty will I finally feel okay
But these are trick questions cause I have a name
And it's Lauren Jean
And I'm seventeen
And I can't stop saying how old I am
It's the only thing that makes me feel seen
And I hate that I feel this way
'Cause I turn eighteen in one day
Yeah I turn eighteen in one day
In one day
I'm gonna be an adult
I'm gonna have to make calls
Gotta sign my own shit
Gotta be responsible
And I know I sound petty
But I'm just not ready
For all of this shit that I'm gonna have to know
'Cause I still feel twelve
And at the same time I feel thirty
I don't know myself
And I don't feel like I'm worthy
For what I wanna do
What I wanna do
Ooo what I wanna do
I just wanna be happy
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one ahhh
Oh two twenty-two twenty twenty-one, oh two twenty-two
Now I'm eighteen
And nothing's really changed
I mean I registered to vote
And I can get a tattoo
Don't have to stick and poke
Now I'm eighteen
But nothing's rearranged
I guess I'm learning how to cope
And be okay
But I'm slowly losing hope
