Now you're bad and leaving home
'Cause you say there's no one there for you to talk to
Isn't it nice to go outside
When you know there is no place you have to walk to
You can live alone inside a crowded room
Consume or you will be consumed
And it's never, never too late, never too soon
Put on your frown and go downtown
When you wait in line to find your mind is blown
You have come a long, long way
Even though you have no idea where you're going
You ain't done a goddamn thing all afternoon
Your confidence is sinking like a lead balloon
And it's never, never too late, never too soon
I can't calm down, I can't come down
I can't come down, I can't calm down
I can't grow up, I can't give up
It's not your fault and it's not mine
Like I'm asking you to hold up the sky
All the things you held so high
Are you surprised to find that now they add to nothing
Now you're growing old and bold
Do you think that maybe you could teach me something
There is nothing that you really can assume
But you could be the wallflower in someone's room
And it's never, never too late, never too soon
Now you're mad, I know you're mad
Now you're mad, I know you're mad
Why don't you just tell someone
It's not like you're the only one
It's not like I'm asking you to hold up the sky
I can teach you how to try
You can teach me how to lie
Hush my darling don't you cry
This could be your lullaby
Never, never too late
