i’m old, i’m young
i burnt my tongue
but isn’t that obvious?
it’s all so obvious
you try, to try
you’re out of time
but isn’t that obvious?
you are so obvious
i’m holdin’ this so wrong
‘tween my finger, and my thumb
but i don’t mind, i just want to get high
yeah, i cut through life
with the back of the knife
you say, “it’s cool
what’s good at school?”
but now it’s up to me
i’m floating endlessly
i’m doing it all wrong
i’m burnin’ out, ’till i’m gone
yeah, i don’t mind
i just wanted to try
yeah, i cut through life
with the back of the knife
yeah, i don’t mind
i just wanted to try
because i cut through life
with the back of the knife
i burnt my tongue
but isn’t that obvious?
it’s all so obvious
you try, to try
you’re out of time
but isn’t that obvious?
you are so obvious
i’m holdin’ this so wrong
‘tween my finger, and my thumb
but i don’t mind, i just want to get high
yeah, i cut through life
with the back of the knife
you say, “it’s cool
what’s good at school?”
but now it’s up to me
i’m floating endlessly
i’m doing it all wrong
i’m burnin’ out, ’till i’m gone
yeah, i don’t mind
i just wanted to try
yeah, i cut through life
with the back of the knife
yeah, i don’t mind
i just wanted to try
because i cut through life
with the back of the knife

Thank you for this amazing song, Wet Leg - and RP!!
The history of this track seems to be that it has been a part of their live shows for years but got cut from the first album? And they've recorded it more than once, apparently. Anyway, now it's on
