"I Tried To Act Your Age" lyrics

Light blue Subaru
You had your own car, I thought that was cool
Ridin' round with you
Was I too young to know that? How far those seats go back
'Cause when he killed the motor, had to grow up too fast
I forgot to act my age
If you asked me I'd say

God, he's so intelligent, he must know everything
And I fell for all of it back then
I hope that

In some other lifetime, maybe I'd get away
Instead of passing your lighter on your fire escape
I tried to act your age
In some other lifetime, maybe I wouldn't wait
Like a dove in a crossfire, my innocence got in the way
I guess that I'll just stay
And try to act your age

I don't feel like talking
I left too much of me in your apartment
I wish I could forget
The sinking type of feeling of dancing on your string
Back when I wasn't even old enough yet to drink
Forgot to act my age
When I tried to make you stay

In some other lifetime, maybe I'd get away
Instead of passing your lighter on your fire escape
But I tried to act your age (Mm-mm)
In some other lifetime, maybe I wouldn't wait
Like a dove in a crossfire, my innocence got in the way
I guess that I'll just stay
And try to act your age

The only way I could survive, I let part of me die
I only wish I could have said goodbye
Goodbye

In some other lifetime, maybe I get away
I don't cry every time that I go driving upstate
'Cause love don't feel like pain (No)
In some other lifetime where I don't know your name
Maybe we'll pass like strangers on any other day
I thought that I could stay
And try to act your age

Light blue Subaru
I wanna rewrite everything about you
I've got nothing left to lose
So maybe I'll get one too
