Fifteen Going On Fifty
but you're just fifteen, why such a hurry?
think about the past times
and your past crimes
back when you were so remarkable
(so marketable)
I can't tell you it was wrong
'cause you'll still follow along.
now the candles are blown out;
will you survive your doubt?
they're saying you'll make it same day
so nod along, tell them you're okay.
"here's another tip!"
"here's a scholarship!"
"here's a college trip!"
now you're fifteen going on fifty,
but you're just fifteen, why such a hurry?
peers will whisper,
"you're the teacher's pet."
but you're just a pleasure in class
so why even fret?
you're desperately asking
how you keep on passing
its a farce, how you keep your marks
guess its time to finally own up
they're saying your head is in the clourds,
doesn't matter if you still end up proud
"ranked number one!"
"above everyone!"
master of none
still you're fifteen going on fifty
but you're just fifteen, why such a hurry?
