"Freckles" lyrics

At my age how quickly things change
The older I get the less stays the same
The days fade but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
Keeps me sane
Nothing changes them

Most of the time I feel lost in my twenties
I'm still afraid of the dentist and have acne
One, two, three, four count them on my hand
All the people I still let hurt me

This morning I fell on the pavement
It hurt but it felt so simple
Haven't done that since age seven
When did I get so fearful

At my age how quickly things change
The older I get the less stays the same
The days fade but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
Keeps me sane
Nothing changes them

Nobody really knows it but I'd love to learn to dance
It's on the list of things I'd do if I took a chance
Now it's almost July and here I am again
As impulsive as a weather vane

This morning I fell on the pavement
I bled and it felt so fickle
Took it as some kind of lesson
When did I get so fearful

At my age how quickly things change
The older I get the less stays the same
The days fade but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
Keeps me sane
Nothing changes them

Think of the things you wanted before you grew up
Films that you couldn't see because you weren't old enough
Looked up to your brother because he's so tough
Back when everything made sense to us

This morning I fell on the pavement
It hurt but it felt so simple
Haven't done that since age seven
When did I get so fearful

This morning I fell on the pavement
I bled and it felt so fickle
Took it as some kind of lesson
When did I get so fearful

At my age how quickly things change
The older I get the less stays the same
The days fade but with you I feel safe
So I count the freckles on your face
I count the freckles on your face
