Lyrics: Ellie Rowsell/Alexander Crossan
Music: Ellie Rowsell/Alexander Crossan
I want to be free
Remember how we used to be
Sit at home and dream
Stare at each other like TV
Teenage headache dreams
Come back to me at night
And try as though, I might, to live for now
I don't know how
I just feel down
Teenage headache dreams
Seems like the good time's over
But nothing's really over anymore
Just take control
I want to be free
Romanticize reality
Reminds me what it means
To be me
Teenage headache dreams
I put up on the fight
And try as though, I might, to live for now
I don't know how
Teenage headache dreams
Up all night, taste life twice when I think back again
On back again
She rests her head on my shoulder, blue
Just like all those teen movies told her to
She softly spoke the words, "Is it gonna be okay?
And what the hell am I gonna do today?"
"I'm like a runaway train" I try to explain
"It has to be, just, try and see tomorrow"
You'll look back fondly, I promise
Teenage headache dreams
Teenage headache dreams
Teenage headache dreams
Up all night to taste life twice
Teenage headache dreams
Teenage headache dreams
And try as though, I might, to live for now
