[Verse 1]
Jumped the fence, I wrecked the lawn
Trying to clear my head
I escaped, now I'm coming back
Tail between my legs
You make the rules, you make them

[Refrain]
I'm done trying to figure out why you still shake the world (You still shake the world)
I'm done trying to recreate a vintage girl

[Verse 2]
You're a star, you're the selling sound
Coventry's golden boy
You're a rock, a stubborn lad
An apprentice, self-employed
You pay the bills, you pay them

[Refrain]
You are indestructible so why you fading out? (Why you fading out?)
It's not over 'til you say "When?", when you say "How?"

[Chorus]
They say I'm too young to be alone
But I'm too old to go back home
And all those things that mattered before
None of those matter anymore
You say "When?", you say "How?"
No, you're not fading, fading out
You say "When?" and you say "How?"
You're not fading, fading out, out
