lyrics

Where did the time go?
Feels like we're just playing in snow, you know?
I've never seen the trees grow so fast
Did you think this would last?
Back when
We're ten
We're falling in leaf piles
Time to eat and skin up our knees
Climb trees with ease
And get stung by bees
With fake houses haunted
This is just what we wanted
And we're slumming
We're running back into the woods
And it's good
We should enter a new world
Now there's girls and pearls
And fake relationships
So nonchalant and we've entered the gauntlet

But it's time to go as we graduate from our life
We've made it this far you know and we've come too long to turn back
But these hallowed halls aren't really a home anymore
But I wish they were cause this life is all I know

Let's flash back
Relax
You're fourteen again
Let's begin with sin
And dreams of some skin
As we work
Alert
Responsibility
Something we're knowing but we get scared of showing
Upper class, you passed
Now some can look up to you
True, but told, this place ain't so old
As you're starting to listen its the thing that you're missing
All the clothes, cliques, and trends
Why can't we just play pretend?
