When (Live at NPR’s Tiny Desk)

[Intro]

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

[Verse 1]

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

[Refrain]

Am I the only one

Wishing life away?

Never caught up in the moment

Busy begging the past to stay

Mеmories painted with much brighter ink

Thеy tell me I loved, teach me how to think

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

I'm sick of faking diary entries

Got to 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

[Refrain]

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

[Break]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

[Chorus]

I'm sick of faking diary entries

Got to 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
