Lyrics
If I need to be alone,
I call up everyone I know
I need a little guidance
And it always makes me mad
Days slip into string
Teeth grind like an alarm
I’m counting my cards
The clock keeps ticking,
but my hand doesn’t change
I come on too strong
Always pull back too soon
(Chorus)
All hail the juvenile
Defeated by regret
Before the wrinkles even hit
All hail the juvenile
If I need to be alone,
I call up everyone I know
I rarely do what’s good for me
But tell that to my pride
I come on too strong
Always pull back too soon
(Chorus)
[Break]
All hail the juvenile
Defeated by regret
Before the wrinkles even hit
All hail the juvenile
All hail the juvenile
[Break]
If I need to be alone
I call up everyone I know
