Boyhood

You say that I have it easy and some days I may agree with you
But I just think too much about those things out of reach
Now I'm sending out the messages like I did when I was a child
(On the two-way radio)
Now I'm sending out the signals, come over I need company
We'll watch a John Hughes film and fall asleep
Now you know that I must be dreaming
How could I ever forget you?
But don't you forget about me
That's the boy in me with my head in the clouds
Mistakes you made, mistakes I made
Mistakes you made, mistakes I made
(It's drug-free week at the Elementary)
Sometimes it's nice to be social when it's not a synonym for suffocating
When I lie and say that I have forgiven them
I've seen the evil but believe when I say
"I left my hate on the altar, I keep my love on the mantle (above the fire)"
But they come to pick her up I can't help but sing, sing, sing
"People that you've been before, that you don't want around anymore
They push and they shove, you bend to their will, goddamnit girl, I keep you still"
"I'd seen this happen other peoples lives but then it happened in mine
I'd seen this happen other peoples lives but then it happened in mine
I'd seen this happen other peoples lives but then it happened in mine
Oh, six years is a long time"
That's the boy in me with my head in the clouds
Mistakes you made, mistakes I made
Mistakes you made, mistakes I made
They were so jealous of us honey, they wanted us apart
Now these songs are obsessed with themselves through prayer and meditation
As document my life in the form of a (Smog) song
And that's the boy in me, he's always wanting more
(I've been wanting more)
And that's the boy in me, he must be wanting more
How could I ever forget you?
How could I ever forget you?
I share her with you
When I share here with you
You know that I forgive you
You know that I do
Forgive me too
Forgive me too
Forgive me too
