I think I've been telling lies
'Cause I've never been in love
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise
Distracted by who they're thinking of
I'd rather date an idea
Something I'll never find
Sure, I'll live in the moment
But I'm never happy here
I'm surrounded by greener looking time
Am I the only one wishing life away?
Never caught up in the moment
Busy begging the past to stay
Memories painted with much brighter ink
They tell me I'm loved
Teach me how to think
I'll take what I can get
'Cause I'm too damp for a spark
Kissing sickly sweet guys
'Cause they say they like my eyes
But I'd only ever see them in the dark
I'm sick of faking diary entries
I gotta get it in my head
I'll never be sixteen again
I'm waiting to live
And waiting to love
Oh, it'll be over
And I'll still be asking "when"
Am I the only one wishing life away?
Never caught up in the moment
Busy begging the past to stay
Memories painted with much brighter ink
They tell me I'm loved
Teach me how to think
I'm sick of faking diary entries
I gotta get it in my head
I'll never be sixteen again
I'm waiting to live
Still waiting to love
Oh it'll be over and I'll still be asking "when"
Oh it'll be over and I'll still be asking "when"
