Lyrics

Are we gonna have some teenage summer?
[Instrumental]
Is it real
Or a fiction of your mind?
Am I gone
In a fraction of your time?
You mistake my real intentions once again
Want to be near you, wanted to hear you
My words alight
Like paper drifting in the sky
Not enough to be a witness of your life
All along
I was hoping we would come of age
Walking around you
Want to surround you
But I can’t get close enough
Can't get close enough
Wanted to find you
Wanted to break through
Life's imitation
I've been away too much
I've been locking it away too much
I'm here tonight
And I'm gone again
I'm here tonight (You pick up your bags and you ready to fly)
And I'm gone again (Pick up your bags)
Baby, come on (Come on)
I wanted to hear you
Want to be near you
But I can't get close enough
I can't get close enough
Want to surround you
Want to be near you
But I can't get close enough
Wanted to be near you
To care for you
But I can't get close enough
Wanted to break through
Life's imitation
I've been away too much
I've been locking it away too much
I’m gonna call you
Life's imitation
I've been away too much
I've been locking it away too much
I'm gonna call you
Life's imitation, blue heaven
Are we gonna have some teenage summer?
Are we gonna have some mad new year?
Are we gonna have some teenage summer?
Am I gonna have some mad idea?
[Instrumental]
Are we gonna have some teenage summer?
Am I gonna have some mad idea?
