When Lyrics - Dodie Clark

I think I've been telling lies, 

cause I've never been in love. 

Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise, distracted by who they're thinking of. 

I'd rather date an idea; 

something I'll never find. 

Sure, I'll live in the moment, 

but I'm never happy here 

I'm surrounded by greener looking time. 

Am I the only one 

wishing life away? 

Never caught up in the moment 

busy begging the past to stay 

Memories painted with much brighter ink; 

they tell me I loved, teach me how to think. 

I'll take what I can get 

cause I'm too damp for a spark. 

Kissing sickly sweet guys 

cause they say they like my eyes 

but I'd only ever see them in the dark. 

I'm sick of faking diary entries, 

got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again 

I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love 

oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when. 

Am I the only one 

wishing life away? 

Never caught up in the moment 

busy begging the past to stay 

Memories painted with much brighter ink; 

they tell me I loved, teach me how to think. 

I'm sick of faking diary entries, 

got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again 

I'm waiting to live, still waiting to love 

oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when 

oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.
