[Verse 1]
Please don't make my wedding dress
I'm too young to marry yet
Can you see my pocket knife?
You can't make me be a wife

[Chorus 1]
How the world just turns and turns
How does anybody learn?

[Verse 2]
Mummy, put your needle down
How did you feel when you were young?
'Cause I feel like I've just been born
Even though I'm getting on

[Chorus 2]
How the world slips by so fast
How does anybody last?

[Bridge]
As the world keeps coming
And the bees keep humming
And I'll keep running

[Verse 3]
Flowers I can do without
I don't wanna be tied down
White material will stain
My pocket knife's got a shiny blade
[Verse 4]
I'm not trying to cause a fuss
I just want to make my own fuck-ups
I'm not trying to break your heart
I'm just trying not to fall apart
