Oh how i can't wait to get out of this place,
To be an adult, to do adult things,

Oh how i can't wait to be 21,
Because right now, i'm only 14.

I'm of no use to myself;
No job, no money, no experiences to guide me,
no mistakes to learn from because i'm only 14.

But when i am 21 with a shitty job, tight on money, life changing experiences and regretful mistakes...

Oh how i can't wait to be 30,
To have a career, a husband, a home filled with children...

Oh how i can't wait to be 30,
Because right now, i'm only 21 and we're only just beginning.

But when i am 30 with barely a career, a cheating husband, a pig-sty of a home filled with spoiled, bratty children...

Oh how i can't wait to be 60,
to be retired and stress free, for my children to move out leaving an empty home and for my dickhead of a husband to have finally disappeared...

Oh how i can't wait to be 60,
Because right now, i'm only 30 and i can still live my life...

But when i am 60, I will be retired and stress free, my children will have moved out, and i will have an empty home, but now...

Oh i can't wait to be dead,
I truly am all alone, and have wasted my life only wanting to grow older.

Oh i can't wait to be dead,
because right now, i realised i have wasted this life.

But when i am dead...

Oh i can't wait to be 14,
