"Ribbons + Taxes" lyrics

She said, "you look good for your age!"
I said, "I'm only 28...?"
Wondering if I'm supposed to be offended?
I was a kid against my will
Playing pretend to pay my bills
I always felt like the world was ending

I used to hate the color pink
I used to laugh at girly things
Cuz everything's embarrassing
At fourteen
So now I'm in between

I'm wearing my ribbons
As I'm doing my taxes
It's baby's first time living
And you don't get to practice
No one
Tells you
If you blink fast
You don't get your girlhood back
Don't throw it all away in advance
Cuz I'm getting as close as I can

By now my mom would be a wife
But I'd feel like a child bride
I wonder if she even had some questions
If you know me you know I swear
If someone took my teddy bear
Then I'd lose my shit and probably get arrested

I used to hate the color pink
I used to laugh at girly things
Cuz everything's embarrassing
At fourteen
So now I'm in between

I'm wearing my ribbons
As I'm doing my taxes
It's baby's first time living
And you don't get to practice
No one
Tells you
If you blink fast
You don't get your girlhood back
Don't throw it all away in advance
Cuz I'm getting as close as I can

Aah, aah
Aah, aah...
