Teens

Pains me to say

But I think that it's over, we've grown far apart

Can't stay the same

Thought that we could transition

But now you're my wonderwall

Used to talk on a daily basis

Now I'd be so lucky just to hear your name said

Family turned to strangers off of inhibitions

Felt we were closer, but feelings lie

Summer sun used to signal our better days

Now I'm stuck outside looking from miles away

We felt so invincible, not knowing our feelings fade

Who'd think we'd change?

Back then when we were teens

Commit on faith

Stuck believing the future would give us the stars

Mondays awake

But by weekend we're fated

To parking out at the mall

Broken sign lit the dirty pavement

Jacob sighed, asking where the day went

Dropped the keys to his old LeSabre

If we could get sober, we'd really shine

Summer sun used to signal our better days

Now I'm stuck outside looking from miles away

We felt so invincible, not knowing our feelings fade

Who'd think we'd change?

Back then when we were teens

Back then when we were teens

We felt so invincible

Back then when we were teens

Out of our heads

Supposed to be

Coming undone

Back then when we were teens

Stupid and free

What did it mean?

Can we go back

Back to when we were teens?
