I found wings in my attic
One more superpower I've outgrown 
My brother has basketball practice 
I'm going to hit on the coach 

I saw Jesus Christ in a bookstore
He looked burdened with all that belief
He cut me in line without remorse
Said, "We're all powering the same machine"

Oh, I grew up and learned the cost 
Oh, I can't sleep this one off
Now I know that I bleed months 
Oh, but I was a machine once 

I got drunk for the first time
Or as drunk as my brain would permit 
I swayed beside a stuffed lion
And briefly loved a scientist 

I think I saw God in the bathroom
Some pretty girl was holding her hair back 
And I offered her fistfuls of tissues
She bit back tears and told me not to do that 

Oh, I grew up and learned the cost 
Oh, I can't sleep this one off
Now I know that I bleed months 
Oh, but I was a machine once 

I saw this boy in a nightmare
After I passed him on campus
You know, the one I'm still scared of? 
Even though nothing happened
I shudder at what might have happened 
Growing up is bad dreams put in practice 

Oh, I grew up and learned the cost, oh
Oh, I grew up and learned the cost
Oh, I can't sleep this one off 
Now I know that I bleed months
Oh, but I was a machine once

Oh
Oh
