  • One, two
    One, two
    One, two, three, hey

    Oh, I could bore you with the truth
    About an uneventful youth
    Or you could get that rap from someone else
    And I could make an observation
    If you want the voice of a generation
    But I'm too self absorbed to give it clout

    And I, I don't really care about
    Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out
    'Cause when you're young and bored and twenty-four
    And don't know who you are no more

    There's no hope
    And it's hard to come of age
    I think it's a problem
    Does it ever go away?
    I know, I am so self-obsessed
    I guess, but there's no hope
    And I hope it's just a phase
    I'll outgrow, oh-oh, oh

    Oh, I could look for inspiration
    Find it in the charm of an English nation
    But wouldn't that be cheap and ill-informed
    And I could bet you don't believe me
    If I said it came from deep within me
    But I promise you I'm tellin' you the truth

    And I, I don't really care about
    Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out
    'Cause when you're twenty-four and young and bored
    And don't know who you are no more

    There's no hope
    And it's hard to come of age
    I think it's a problem
    Does it ever go away?
    I know, I am so self-obsessed
    I guess, but there's no hope
    And I hope it's just a phase
    I'll outgrow

    Well, I wish that I was comfortable in my own skin
    But the whole thing feels like an exercise
    In trying to be someone I would rather not be
    I tried to second guess if you would be approving
    I find my life ever so moving
    Keen, wide-eyed, and unassuming, hope (okay)

    There is no hope, but there's desperately
    No hope and there's definitely
    No hope if you don't believe me
    Oh
    Yeah, there is no hope and there's desperately
    No hope, and there's definitely
    No hope if you don't believe me
    Oh

    But I, I don't really care about
    Anybody else when I haven't got my own life figured out
    'Cause when you're twenty-four and young and bored
    And don't know who you are no more

    There's no hope
    And it's hard to come of age
    I think it's a problem
    Does it ever go away?
    I know, I am so self-obsessed
    I guess, but there's no hope
    And I hope it's just a phase
    I'll outgrow

    There is no hope
    I know it's a problem
    And it never goes my way
    I know, I am so self-obsessed
    I guess, but there's no hope
    And I hope it's just a phase
    I'll outgrow, oh, oh, oh Writer/s: Arni Hjorvar Arnason, Freddie Clayton Cowan, Justin James Hayward-Young, Peter Gareth Christopher Robertson
