Christian Leave - Adult
[Verse]
You told me to look away
I said "I've seen better days"
But you don't get that
You could never get that
'Cause I've been living on my own for some time
Making it on my own for some time
And you still fight around with your mom
How can I give you what I know?
[Chorus]
You told me to look away
Search out for the better days
But I don't get that
I have never felt this way
On my own dealing with the problems that give back
You told me to look away
Search out for the better days
But I don't get that
I have never felt this way
On my own dealing with the problems that give back
[Bridge]
You told me to find peace on my own time
It's not your responsibility
To make me feel fine, woah
Develop in your own mind
It's not my responsibility
To care for you all the time, woah
[Chorus]
You told me to look away
Search out for the better days
But I don't get that
I have never felt this way
On my own dealing with the problems that give back
You told me to look away
Search out for the better days
But I don't get that
I have never felt this way
On my own dealing with the problems that give back
You told me to look away
Search out for the better days
But I don't get that
I have never felt this way
On my own dealing with the problems that give back
You told me to look away
Search out for the better days
But I don't get that
I have never felt this way
On my own dealing with the problems that give back
A unique and infectious song, “Adult” blends a modern indie feel with a classic R&B sound. This on its own is wildly entertaining, but when you add in Leave’s impeccable vocal performance, the whole thing culminates into a fun and breezy three minutes and twelve seconds. Yet, the song is not without depth, as Leave told American Songwriter. “I was at a point in my life where I felt like I was really coming into my own skin and becoming the person I really wanted to be,” he said. “I was experiencing a new level of maturity in myself that I hadn’t seen before, while simultaneously feeling incredibly young and inexperienced. I recorded ‘Adult’ in a studio underneath a coffee shop with two amazing producers. It was my first time extensively working with anyone on a project and as the days went by things got easier and more and more comfortable. We all began to speak the same language. It was a really cool experience to share with someone and I am ready to do it all over again.” Even for “Adult,” Leave said that he hoped that listeners could walk away knowing that “your life is in your hands and your experiences and feelings should not be devalued by anyone around you. Remember that you are important and what you think is just as important as the people you admire.” - Hoe Vitagliano, American Songwriter
