Contractual

Last time I checked
This wasn't real life
And we were just kids

And last time I checked
I wasn't a mess
Just a little un-did

Last time I checked
Last time I checked

And last time I checked
I didn't agree to this
And I never signed a contract

Growing up
Wasn't part of the plan and
I was never really a fan of
Getting old or giving up
But it seems inevitable now

Naivety's never been so appealing
And I'm obsessed with ignoring the feeling
I'm about to have to start dealing
In unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire
It's all the pain
That living will inspire
That has got me running
From all that I admire
To avoid the feeling

Cinder blocks on your feet
It's time to float now
You've got to swim or
Find yourself drowning

Roses rise from your face
You've got to cut them
No one can see
That you are full of loving

Or god-forbid
They deem you the weakling
And cut you from the cast
You've been conducting

Naivety's never been so appealing
And I'm obsessed with ignoring the feeling
I'm about to have to start dealing
In unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire
It's all the pain
That living will inspire
That has got me running
From all that I admire
To avoid the feeling

I'm sinking in unfamiliar things

And I
Don't want to waste my time
Just trying to get by
And I
Don't want to waste my time
Just trying to get by

Naivety's never been so appealing
And I'm obsessed with ignoring the feeling
I'm about to have to start dealing
In unfamiliar things

Consequences have never been so dire
It's all the pain
That living will inspire
That has got me running
From all that I admire
To avoid the feeling

I'm sinking in unfamiliar things
To avoid the feeling

I'm sinking in unfamiliar things
