Lyrics of
Beginners

And in a moment it all came to this
The time it took for your muscles to grow and grip
Of all the things Ive heard
Whyd it have to be these words?
And in a second Ill be gone and you wont have to think
I got enough to keep me going, keep me from the brink
As your bones grew
Why did you become you?
Become you?
Oh, Ive told you, oh, to be older
You know Im right
Im right
You know these moments, they take years to pass
You gotta be coping, gotta be hoping the hands fly by fast
You call this true
Why did you become you?
Become you?
And in a moment it all came to this
The greatest book you ever read came from my favorites list
Of all the things to lose,
its you I choose.
Oh, I told you, oh, to be older,
You know Im right
Im right
Keep breathing, keep breathing
Find a scheme you believe in
