Kids

Coming to terms with things on a comedown
On a train across the city that I no longer love
Taking me straight to the edge of our nowhere town
Oh what a pity to see the lives we let go of
Thinking back on the summer
When that even meant anything
When I was a young man waiting for my life to begin
We were throwing stones at the sky
Aiming for the moon
Hitting the windows on the lighthouse, we gave up to soon

With the sand at my feet
The people around were the air that I breathed
We could stay young forever
Forever

Set fire to a cruel world
And the hearts of the cool girls
Sometimes I wonder where you’ve been
‘Cause I heard you got sober, moved away
Then someone died and you were never the same again
I guess your time came and went

With the sand at my feet
The people around were the air that I breathed
We could stay young forever
Forever
Was it all in my mind?
Because everyone else grew older in time
I’ll be alone forever
Forever
