Moving Out

Wasn't what I imagined from the start

This house is a mess and falling apart

Makes me dread thinking of my bank account

When I know it's in drought

With this fluorescence buzzing overhead

I can't concentrate, I'll switch off instead

Against a backdrop of pink neon

And this cold embrace that makes my body feel wrong, about

Moving out

I had my doubts

But a boy must become

A man of the house

Life only seems down for the day

I know this feeling will fade away

Might be broke, but I'll be okay

Little things give me a reason to stay

I've made too many memories here

So wholesome, so golden, they won't disappear

So despite all your flaws

You're starting to feel like home

I guess I was wrong about

Moving out

I had my doubts

But a boy must become

A man of the house

You can't live forever in

The safety of your mother

You can't live forever in

The safety of your father

Moving out

I had my doubts

But a boy must become

A man of the house
