Quarter Century New Lyrics - Carolines Spine

You see the posters up around my room 

And you ask me if I'm going to get up soon 

And I say I think I'm fine here today 

I know you wonder about the friends I run with 

And I know you rifle through my room when I'm out 

You'll never find out what I'm about 

But I hear you no matter what you think 

Because I know there is good in all your preaching 

What I am I got from you 

But you need to learn how to listen to me 

I won't grow up because life can be so cold 

I'm going to live in my dreams 

Even if I'll die to see them through 

I don't want to wake up a half a century older 

Wanting to be a quarter century new 

Quarter century new 

I did my time 

I got through school 

Left it all and made my rules that day 

The day we got away 

A different time I'm a different person 

And I grew into the look you thought was a curse for so long 

I've always been a little to far gone 

But I hear you no matter what you think 

Because I know there is good in all your preaching 

What I am I got from you 

But you need to learn how to listen to me 

Now, I won't grow up because life can be so cold 

I'm gonna live in these dreams 

Even if I die to see them through 

I don't want to wake up a half a century older 

No wanting to be a quarter century new 

Quarter Century New
