Can We Just Be Adults

So I try to play nice
And that gets no reaction
You couldn’t pass the pop quiz
Act like it never happened
This ain’t a meet me after school
Where we both just play it off as cool
There’s no exception to the rule
It’s the principal
So please please please
I really gotta know
I’m tryna ask you nicely
So please please please
Can’t we just be adults?
or will we ever grow up grow up grow up
Grow up grow up grow up
This is so exhausting
We could really use a recess
What you’ll graduate with
An ‘A' in hesitation
This isn’t written in a textbook
This is classic common knowledge
I’d let you off the Just cut the chit chat and be honest
So please please please
I really gotta know
I’m tryna ask you nicely
So please please please
Can’t we just be adults?
or will we ever grow up grow up grow up
Grow up grow up grow up
And how can you keep running socially sideways?
I’m so ready for this phase to be over
And how can you keep running socially sideways?
