Alice Merton: Why So Serious

when did we forget
all the crazy things
that made us feel so part of it?
our youth, so confidnt
we played our heartstrings
not caring if it ends
try to learn to let go off all those things that tie you down
get rid of it
the voice inside that tells me that
I;m scared, yeah, scared as shit
but I wanna let go of it now
so someone tell me

why so serious why are we so serious why so serious
when did we get like this?
I still remember we weren’t grown up like this

I don’t seem to get all the things that are happening
and I can’t make sense of everything tthat’s inside my head
but I keep on thinking
there’s gotta be something said
sees we’ve lost it
that spark inside that tells us it’s all nonsense
stop being so cautions
with every mistake there comes a lesson
learned
so someone tell me

why so serious why are we so serious why so serious
when did we get like this?
I still remember we weren’t grown up like this
why so serious why are we so serious why so serious
when did we get like this?
I still remember we weren’t grown up like this

I wanna live in the now
I’m not gonna live in the past
don’t wanna care about what ifs
cause what if those things don’t last?
and I wanna live with no regrets
I wanna live in the now
I am not gonna live in the past
don’t wanan care about what ifs
cause what if those things don’t last
and I wanna live with no regrets
so someone tell me
why so serious?

why so serious why are we so serious why so serious
when did we get like this?
I still remember we weren’t grown up like this
why so serious why are we so serious why so serious
when did we get like this?
I still remember we weren’t grown up like this
