James Newton Howard
As I Come of Age
[Verse 1]
As I come of age
I keep fallin' down
And I feel just like a schoolgirl
I was in a senseless rage
Runnin' too hard
And I tore you all to pieces

[Bridge]
Yes, but it's all over now
And I'm a little bit older now
The lessons that I'm learnin' now
Are gonna make it easy
Somehow

[Verse 2]
Now then can't I try
Starting over
Put the pieces back together
Even as I cry bitter tears
I can see it's all a puzzle
A game
Always the same, ooh

[Instrumental break]
[Verse 3]
By the time I die with the passing
If I've sorted out my changes
And if you could take the time
I would tell you that it's still a puzzle
The same
Always a game, ooh
