My Adulthood lyrics - Del Amitri

I've been living like a child all my adulthood

Waiting for a man to take my place

There's a river of denial runs through my adulthood

I don't know who owns this face

I've wasted every day of my adulthood

I've spilled it on the ground like rain

I don't know when this became my adulthood

Since I refused to change a thing

My adulthood is just a name I took

From the other adults that I saw

And little did I know, nobody ever grows

They just pretend that it's all like before

I'm way past the salad days of my adulthood

Not even mirrored shades can hide that truth

I thought I'd run away from my adulthood

Since I escaped the cage of my youth

My adulthood is a masquerade I took

From the other adults that I knew

And little did I know, nobody ever grows

They just carry on as children do

Like I've carried all my adulthood

This thing I had to do

Suspend my adulthood, so every day I could

Be free from you
