Weekend Hours - Birthday Girl Lyrics

Like the nights we'd sneak out our backyards
Waking up past noon
And the times we'd just pretend to care
With our messy hair (Oh oh oh)
Like the days we'd talk of the real deal
Planning our big break
Now those hours, they start to fall apart
Simply play the part for a day
Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much
Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough
Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up
I only wanted to prove that I was growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
And I'm still growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
I'm not the only one
Like the times we'd seek out a shelter
From lives we thought we knew
All the ways we'd try and tune it out
For a weekend out (Ooh ooh ooh)
And it never really crossed my mind
We were changing outlooks all the time
But they seemed so shortsighted then
And I think about the times we'd hide
Oh the days we used to step aside
I'll see them on the other end
Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much
Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough
Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up
I only wanted to prove that I was growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
And I'm still growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
I'm not the only one
Oh we should be asking
Our dreams, can they entertain us?
(Oh oh ooh)
Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much
Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough
Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up
I only needed to prove that I was growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
And I'm still growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
I'm not the only one (Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much)
(Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough)
Yes, I'm not alone, oh ooh (Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up)
(I only needed to prove)
I'm not the only one

Like the nights we'd sneak out our backyards
Waking up past noon
And the times we'd just pretend to care
With our messy hair (Oh oh oh)
Like the days we'd talk of the real deal
Planning our big break
Now those hours, they start to fall apart
Simply play the part for a day
Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much
Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough
Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up
I only wanted to prove that I was growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
And I'm still growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
I'm not the only one
Like the times we'd seek out a shelter
From lives we thought we knew
All the ways we'd try and tune it out
For a weekend out (Ooh ooh ooh)
And it never really crossed my mind
We were changing outlooks all the time
But they seemed so shortsighted then
And I think about the times we'd hide
Oh the days we used to step aside
I'll see them on the other end
Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much
Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough
Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up
I only wanted to prove that I was growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
And I'm still growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
I'm not the only one
Oh we should be asking
Our dreams, can they entertain us?
(Oh oh ooh)
Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much
Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough
Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up
I only needed to prove that I was growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
And I'm still growing up
(Oh oh oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh)
I'm not the only one (Don't ever think that it's just because I said too much)
(Don't ever think that it's just because I've had enough)
Yes, I'm not alone, oh ooh (Don't ever think that it's just the way I've given up)
(I only needed to prove)
I'm not the only one
