Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All my friends are going places
And I'm just burning all the bridges
They seem to have it all worked out
And I'm just trying to keep it loud
This is where the story goes
This is how I lost my voice
[Verse 2]
When I was fifteen I didn't care about anyone
High school was just another distraction
With no highs but lows
And fucking ups
But that's when I found it and it sounded like feelings
I didn't get the words, but I knew they had meaning
I was lost and found
The sound that made me feel alive
[Verse 3]
Welcome to the world of punx
Freaks and geeks and silly drugs
Welcome to starting a band
Skipping school when surf gets high
[Verse 4]
By twenty-tow I forgot what I was doing
Just getting lost inside my father's wishes
Of trading music and adventure for a desk with limitations
[Verse 5]
Welcome to your nine-to-five
If you call in sick you'd better be dying
Welcome to stability
The king of boredom and routine
[Verse 6]
Do you remember when we were truly happy?
Three simple chords and everyone is dancing
I'm looking forward to that time again
And I'll say "Hey, stop wasting time, you got this!"
[Verse 7]
I want you to follow what makes you feel different
I want you to struggle, pay your dues, get blisters
I want you to dream big, bigger than I ever did
I want you to fight for it (Against the odds)
I want you to fall in love again (Against the rules)
I want you to lose your voice too
Screaming your heart out
Just sing your heart out
