In relation to my younger self I fucked right up
I'd thought of every avenue to a life I'd love
Guess it don't work like that, no it don't work like that at all
'Cause every time I turned left, I didn't turn out right at all

(Don't) get ahead of me
He's screaming at me
Make an enemy
Best get ahead of me
He's screaming at me
Better your enemy
Once you're ahead of me
Everything will be
What you need it to be

Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring
Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring

My teenaged heart gave me teenaged pause and I
Wanted more than the sum of my parts and my
Teenaged heart let me off with the clause that I'd
Do what I could and maybe a little bit (more)
More than anything I
Could have been more tender
With myself, less with everyone else
Guess it's not too late for, not too late for that now

Jubilation, for everything good's deepening
Like a favourite colour that for the first time you're seein'
In relation to my current self I'm doing fine
Light don't move quite so fast through a diamond, only time

(Don't) get ahead of me
He's screaming at me
Make an enemy
Best get ahead of me
He's screaming at me
Better your enemy
Once you're ahead of me
Everything will be
What you need it to be

Get ahead of me
You're screaming at me
Make an enemy
Get ahead of me
Everything will be
Need it to be

Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring
Shadows, 'cause I'm scared of what the light might bring

My teenaged heart gave me teenaged pause and I
Wanted more than the sum of my parts and my
Teenaged heart let me off with the clause that I'd
Do what I could and maybe a little bit (more)
More than anything I
Could have been more tender
With myself, less with everyone else
Guess it's not too late for, not too late for that now
