The Academic – Acting My Age (2020)

Acting My Age Lyrics[Verse 1]
I'm not avoiding you, I'm waiting
I'm not so good at confrontation
I'm not afraid to say I'm shaking
Wish I could start a conversation, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know how lucky you are
You don't know what’s coming next
You don't know how lucky you are
I know accidents happen
And I played my part
I know accidents happen
And it breaks my heart
[Chorus]
I never thought I'd tell myself
It's time I should start acting my age
I know I've done some silly things
I've made a few mistakes on the way
But I've never been on CNN
I've never had to cover my face
I wanna make it up to you
I just gotta start acting my age
My age

[Verse 2]
I'm not exactly what you wanted
I always took your love for granted
Pull me over, check for damage
And drive away like it's a challenge, oh yeah

[Bridge]
I know accidents happen
And I played my part

[Chorus]
I never thought I'd tell myself
It's time I should start acting my age
I know I've done some silly things
I've made a few mistakes on the way
But I've never been on CNN
I've never had to cover my face
I wanna make it up to you
I just gotta start acting my age
My age
[Post-Chorus]
You don't know how lucky you are
You don't know what’s coming next
You don't know how lucky you are
I know accidents happen
And it breaks my heart

[Chorus]
I never thought I'd tell myself
It's time I should start acting my age
I know I've done some silly things
I've made a few mistakes on the way
But I've never been on CNN
I've never had to cover my face
I wanna make it up to you
I just gotta start acting my age
My age3
