Verse 1:

Well I could bore you with a truth

About an uneventful youth

So you could get that wrap from someone else

And I could make an observation

If you want the voice of the generation

But Im too self-absorbed to give it clout

And I, I dont really care about

Anybody else when I havent got my own life figured out

Cause when youre young and bored at 24

And you dont know who you are no more

Chorus:

Theres no hope and its hard to come of age

I think its a problem

Cause they never go away

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess but theres no hope

And I hope its just a phase

I'll out grow

Verse 2

Well I could look for inspiration

Find it in the job of an English nation

But wouldnt that be cheap and ill-informed

And I could bet you dont believe me

If I said it came from deep within me

But I promise you Im telling you the truth

And I, I dont really care about

Anybody else when I havent got my own life figured out

Cause when youre 24 and young and bored

And dont know who you are no more

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:

Well I wish I was comfortable in my own skin

But the whole thing feels like an exercise

And 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

Oh (okay)

There is no hope but theres desperately

No hope but theres definitely

No hope if you dont believe me

Oooh

Yeah, there is no hope but theres desperately

No hope but theres definitely

No hope if you dont believe me

Oooh but I, I dont really care about

Anybody else when I havent got my own life figured out

Cause when youre 24 and young and bored

And dont know who you are no more

Repeat Chorus

There is no hope

I know its a problem

But they never goes my way

I know I am so self-obsessed

I guess but theres no hope

And I hope its just a phase

Well, I'll out grow
