Maisie Peters Coming Of Age Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Your face in fluorescent looks different in the daylight
Like was it a love affair or just a lot of late nights?
Like you had the speaking parts but I guess I was the playwright
Oh, oh-woah
I couldn't escape you like the airwaves of the bassline
And I couldn't erase you like a tattoo on my waistline
If it was a first kiss, how come it felt like a snakebite?
Oh, oh-woah

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I woulda seen it sooner
[Chorus]
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, oh, my coming of age
Oh, oh, my coming of age

[Verse 2]
I'm caught in new ground and I'm burning all your CDs
Baby, I am the Iliad, of course you couldn't read me
So I'll leave you behind, but that don't mean it's easy Oh, oh-woah (Oh, oh, oh)

[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I woulda seen it sooner

[Chorus]
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age

[Bridge]
I send my silence away
Printing my blood on the page
You stole my love and I paid
But you couldn't keep what you couldn't take
I know I made you the big star
I let you butcher my big heart
But it's my song and my stage
And it's my coming of age
[Chorus]
Why did it take me (Oh, oh, oh)
Ages to say it? (Oh, oh, oh)
I wasn't your cliché
Oh, no, this is my coming of age

[Outro]
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
I wish I could've seen it, God
But God, I wish that I could've seen it, God
