Dogwood trees that make me think about growing up so fast

They watch me swing along their branches too bad those days have passed

Years of wishing I was five steps further down the line

Now I wish it was 2009

Well keep it together, 'cause even a broken clock is right two times a day hey

Take a deep breath and let it all out

Your friends are graduating and you're dropping out

Life will pass you by if you don't put up a fight

Gotta have darkness or you cannot see the light

Don't you know, yeah

The way you're feeling so defeated

Pick yourself up off the ground

'Cause I can see it

Just believe it

I know you'll come back around

Blink of an eye you're six foot two

And the guy in the mirror doesn't look like you

You had a girlfriend and she loved you too

Something nice about living brand new

The way you're feeling so defeated

Pick yourself up off the ground

'Cause I can see it

Just believe it

I know you'll come back around

The way you're feeling so defeated

Pick yourself up off the ground

'Cause I can see it

Just believe it

I know you'll come back around

The way you're feeling so defeated

Pick yourself up off the ground

'Cause I can't see it

Just believe it

I know you'll come back around

The way you're feeling so defeated

The way you're feeling so defeated
