Fluorescent Fading

You used to run with a spark in your eyes

Talking too fast under summertime skies But fourteen faded out in the

rain Now the homework books are stacked up again

Oh, the exam sheets are calling your name

And the playground games don't feel the same

Now you're fifteen and the colors are grey GCSE books took your

magic away Where did the wildness of yesterday go?

(where did it go?)

Stuck in a classroom put on a show

Your old worn-out sneakers are left by the door

You don't climb the trees in the park anymore Lost in the

formulas,

memorizing lines Watching the clock as it counts down the times

No more running through the neighborhood streets

Just revision guides and chemistry sheets (ahhhh)

Now you're fifteen and the colors are grey GCSE books took your

magic away Where did the wildness of yesterday go?

(where did it go?)

Stuck in a classroom put on a show

Goodbye fourteen, goodbye spark (goodbye)
