LYRICS:

There's a party and we're all going

And we're all growing up

Somebody's driving and he will be drinking

And no one's going back

'Cause we've tried hungry and we've tried full

And nothing seems enough

So tonight, tonight, the boys are gonna go

For more, more, more

And I want a love that falls as fast as a body from the balcony

And I want to kiss like my heart is hitting the ground

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

Smell that, it's wet grass, and smoke in my hair

I think I've had enough

But he wants a finale and I came prepared

And we're not going back

And I've tried sharing and I've tried caring

And I've tried putting out

But the boys, boys, boys keep coming on

For more, more, more

And change, change, change is gonna come, but

When, when, when?

And I want a love that falls as fast

As a body from the balcony, and

I want to kiss like my heart is chasing me down

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

And I want a love that falls as fast

As a body from the balcony, and

I want to kiss like my heart is hitting the ground

I'm holding my breath with a baseball bat

Though I don't know what I'm waiting for

I am not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

I'm not gonna be what my daddy wants me to be

I wanna be what my body wants me to be
