[Intro]
She keeps on calling me
I keep hanging up
It's not that I don't want to talk
I just fear listening
[Verse 1]
As a child it worried me
That all the ones I loved would one day die
I still recall when I realized
I couldn't save them no matter how I tried
I couldn't wait to be a man
The grown-ups seemed to handle life just fine
But here I am, still terrified
See, growing up will just teach you how to smile
[Chorus 1]
I followed you from the sun in my childhood
I followed you through the river to the sea
I followed you where the waves turn to wasteland
I followed you
Now they follow me
[Verse 2]
As a child I felt too old
And now when I'm grown-up I feel too young
A different kind so I've been told
Just slightly out of reach and out of time
She keeps on calling me
I keep hanging up
It's not that I don't want to talk
I just fear listening
[Verse 1]
As a child it worried me
That all the ones I loved would one day die
I still recall when I realized
I couldn't save them no matter how I tried
I couldn't wait to be a man
The grown-ups seemed to handle life just fine
But here I am, still terrified
See, growing up will just teach you how to smile
[Chorus 1]
I followed you from the sun in my childhood
I followed you through the river to the sea
I followed you where the waves turn to wasteland
I followed you
Now they follow me
[Verse 2]
As a child I felt too old
And now when I'm grown-up I feel too young
A different kind so I've been told
Just slightly out of reach and out of time
