[verse 1]
You’ll grow into your hate, Adeline
But you’ll be tall enough to love by then
Close your eyes, enjoy the long ride
Try and find your way home in your head
[pre-Chorus]
And you’ve got a long way to go
Before you understand
Somebody loved you and never let you know
And never lent a hand
[Chorus]
Oh Adeline, Adeline
Oh Adeline, Adeline
[verse 2]
Somebody’s getting old, Adeline
You’re barely getting out of here
Somebody’s coming over, sometime
You’re an only child, you don’t want to share
[pre-Chorus]
You’ve still got a long way to go
Before you understand
Your heart has been eating you whole
You can barely stand to see it
[Chorus]
Oh Adeline, Adeline
Oh Adeline, Adeline
[outro]
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
Take your time
You’re alright
You’re alright
You’re alright
You’re alright, Adeline
