Scrape off the ceiling, it's like I'm feeling the best!
High fiving strangers, ignoring dangers for sweets.
Now I'm freezing, I'm drift and seizing the past. To hold it down fast.
Bad milk and honey, turns slowly ugly for me and now I can see.

I'm older just don't listen to me.
I hold fireworks 'til they blow to see...

If they burn me? Well let's just see.
I'll just stand here, burn and blister.

I'm older just don't listen to me.
I hold fireworks 'til they blow to see...
