[Verse 1]The traffic light turned green while you're staring at your phoneA cinematic blur to panicked actionBut you know to drive me totally aloneI never learned to swim, I was too afraid to drownGasping for your air of platitudesI'm lost because I found you outDo you really think I care about the truth?[Verse 2]Don't worry if I'm sad, that's in this seasonPut pushpins on the map to mark places we won't goA checkmark and the time for any reasonWhere we can watch the ocean boil slowly downEvaporating remnants of our youthIt took so long to drown you out but you linger in the air like your perfume[Chorus]I'm not getting any older, I'm just getting oldCalifornia's gеtting colder, I feel it in the air leaking through your windowI will fight to keep my titlе, king of ending up a step behindTake a look over your shoulder, hold your breath and waste my time (time)[Verse 3]The voice comes loud and clear over speakers in the air: "This is the final call for final boarding."Somehow the most pain is failure to careReclining half an inch I rapidly ascend, coming close to heaven budget classAll we do is bend our words to fit them into questions we won't ask[Verse 4]We end before we start, it's a Tarantino flickFast forward to the days when grass was greenerA flicker in your eyes, a smile that flashes quick, a flutter in the freeway, a reason to just trace my thumb against the wrinkles in your palmWe're everywhere in space... halfway in the storm, and in the calm[Chorus]I'm not getting any older, I'm just getting oldCalifornia's getting colder, I feel it in the air leaking through your windowI will fight to keep my title, king of ending up a step behindTake a look over your shoulder, hold your breath and waste my timeI'm not getting any wiser, I'm just growing coldSick of trying to despise her, I feel it in the air sneaking through my windowsI will fight to keep my title, king of starting off so far behindTake a look into the future, hold my breath, and waste my time
