Best Coast – Late 20s lyrics

I never thought
That I would be
The type of girl with flowers at her feet

I never thought
Myself in white
It's all I see now when I look into the light

I never wanted
To have a baby
It's all I think about
It drives me crazy

I never thought
That I would be
The woman that I am today back when I was seventeen

You should have warned me
You should have told me
You should have woken me up from those truths
And now I see it
And I can feel it
But I don't know exactly how to be it

When I was just a little girl
I saw my future wide and bright when I stared up at the world

I always thought
That I would make it
I used to think that I would have to fake it

And now I cry
Every single night
I'm not the same as I was before
I used to picture so much more

You should have warned me
You should have told me
You should have woken me up from those truths
And now I see it
And I can feel it
But I don't know exactly how to be it

I talk too much
I think too much
I spend too much time in my head
Time in my head
Time in my head
Time in my head

You should have warned me
You should have told me
You should have woken me up from those truths
And now I see it
And I can feel it
But I don't know exactly how to be it

You should have warned me
You should have told me
You should have woken me up from those truths
And now I see it
And I can feel it
But I don't know exactly how to be it
