Figured it out before I'm a teen
Humming along the washing machine
Making some faces, I make a scene
No one's around to see how green
Run away, run away, run away, scream
I saddle my thoughts for the big machine
That is why that's the way we watch the movies
In some silly way, life begins to change
That's the way we watch the movies
In some silly way, life begins to change for you
You're old enough
Life begins to change
Lift up my fork and celebrate ease
Liquid enough, liquid, it seems
Walking on pillows, I learn how to sleep
Somehow, I feel what flies seem to breathe
Run away, run away, run away, dreams
I like all the flights on the big machine
That is why that's the way we watch the movies
In some silly way, life begins to change
That's the way we watch the movies
In some silly way, life begins to change for you
You're old enough
Life begins to break (break, break, break)
Come on out, I got a secret, time will let you in
And if you want, you can have a secret, time will let you in
Come on out, you gotta see it, time will let you in
And if you want, you can ride with me
If the wind is right, the wind is free
I knew it then, I knew it well
Like a pilot diving down a wishing well
I know it's better when the weather changes your hair
Fifteen paces, a mile an hour, it's gotta feel good, it's gotta feel good
Sucking a slurpee for ultimate power, it's gotta feel good
You're fighting, you're back when you feel like a coward, it's gotta feel good, it's gotta feel good
And everything's moving at the ultimate speed, believe it
That is why that's the way we watch the movies
In some silly way, your life begins to change
That's the way we watch the movies
In some silly way, your life begins to change for you
You're older now
Life begins to change for you
You're older now
Your life begins to break
