So I try to play nice

And that gets no reaction

You couldn’t pass the pop quiz

Act like it never happened

This ain’t a meet me after school

Where we both just play it off as cool

I’m tryna ask you nicely

So please please please

Can’t we just be adults?

or will we ever grow up grow up grow up

Grow up grow up grow up

This is so exhausting

We could really use a recess

What you’ll graduate with

An ‘A' in hesitation

This isn’t written in a textbook

This is classic common knowledge

I’d let you off the Just cut the chit chat and be honest

So please please please

I really gotta know

I’m tryna ask you nicely

So please please please

Can’t we just be adults?

or will we ever grow up grow up grow up

Grow up grow up grow up

And how can you keep running socially sideways?

I’m so ready for this phase to be over
