Lyrics
When I was young
Reflecting on youth
I wanted to be old
Desiring to grow older
When I arrived
Reaching adulthood
It left me so cold
Feeling emotionally distant or detached
So I'm going back
Returning to the past
Day by day
Incremental retreat to earlier times
Forget what I've learned
Disregarding acquired knowledge
Don't care what you say
Ignoring external opinions
'Cause I'm a teenager
Embracing teenage identity
So bitter and so sweet
Expressing mixed emotions of bitterness and sweetness
Oh I'm a teenager
Reiteration of teenage identity
Come on world
Challenging the world
Sweep me off my feet
Desiring to be captivated by life
Time and again
Consistently adhering to societal expectations
I'm doing as I should
Conforming to expected behavior
The view from the seats
Acknowledging societal standards
Is that I'm being good
Meeting societal norms
But I'm going back
Continuing the regression to the past
Day by day
Gradual retreat without awareness
Nobody knows
Secrecy about the return to the past
It's better this way
Believing it's preferable
I'm a teenager
Reaffirmation of teenage identity
So bitter and so sweet
Reiteration of mixed emotions
Oh I'm a teenager
Reaffirmation of teenage identity
Come on world
Challenging the world again
Sweep me off my feet
Desiring to be enthralled by life
You can't kick me
Asserting resilience against adversity
Cause I'm down
Emphasizing vulnerability or defeat
Don't wanna get up
Resisting getting back up
Don't wanna come round
Unwillingness to face reality
Cause I'm a teenager
Reiteration of teenage identity
So bitter and so sweet
Expressing mixed emotions
Oh I'm a teenager
Reiteration of teenage identity
Come on world
Challenging the world once more
Sweep me off my feet
Desiring to be captivated by life again
Teenager
Reiteration of teenage identity
So bitter and so sweet
Reaffirmation of mixed emotions
Oh I'm a teenager
Reiteration of teenage identity
Come on world
Challenging the world persistently
Sweep me off my feet
Desiring to be enthralled by life persistently
Come on world
Continued challenge to the world
Sweep me off my feet
Persistent desire to be captivated by life
