Analysis of Old Enough
Old enough now
To change my name
Nobody knows me
I'm not taking the blame
Don't know just how it is
But it happened to me
Can't quite figure out
Who you want me to be
But I'm old enough now
To change my name
You just don't understand
How it isn't the same
I think it is time now
To walk the walk
Whatever we do here
People will talk
Don't make excuses for me
Just kiss me goodbye
And when we are leaving
I'll try not to cry
I'm old enough now
To change my name
Nobody knows me
I'm not taking the blame
You just don't understand
How it isn't the same
And I'm old enough now
To change my name
