Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When we first met, we were kids
We were wild, we were restless
After a while, I grew coarse
I grew cold, I grew reckless
I hold this memory, I hold you so close to me
Whispered, "Were we always happy?"
[Verse 2]
Lately, it feels like I'm sleepin'
And I just can't wake
Pacing the floor, want to call
But I can't, so I hang up
Sharing a secret on the train with a lady who's crying
Has ruined her makeup
[Verse 3]
Now I see just how young, how scared I was
Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?
[Verse 4]
Said goodbye to all the places I used to go
Said goodbye to all the faces I used to know
Nothin' lasts forever
I guess by now I should know, I should know
[Verse 5]
There ain't a thing I can say that will ever repair
And you who had so much advice, and yet couldn't share
Maybe someday we will look back on this
And we'll smile, but right now I can't bear
[Verse 6]
Now I see just how young, how scared I was
Eyes closed tight, throwing punch after punch at the world
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?
Sarah, is it ever gonna be the same?
