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 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;
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

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
