[Verse 1] The empty spaces on my calendar Keep getting smaller every day I'm still the same kid I was yesterday While job applications pile up again Everyone my age is moving on One by one, they're getting hired But I'm still standing where I was Still not ready to become an adult [Pre-Chorus] What does it mean to grow up? That's not what really scares me I'm afraid the years will disappear While I become nobody at all [Chorus] I still can't find the name Of the person I want to be At the end of this long moratorium I see a flower growing through the rubble Talent, style, playing nice, personality What kind of strange measure is that? Can't I stay a little blue in this world? Like a child playing under the golden ginkgo trees [Verse 2] The word "normal" cuts like a knife On nights when I can't sleep Sure, I envy somebody else's success But they must have been blue once too [Chorus] I still can't find the name Of the person I want to be At the end of this long moratorium I see a flower growing through the rubble Talent, style, playing nice, personality What kind of strange measure is that? Can't I stay a little blue in this world? Like a child playing under the golden ginkgo trees
