Goodbyes

I'm growing up quick Better figure it out fast The lights are all fading How long does a high last? It's all the same and my friends tried weed for the first time They almost choked and they couldn't stop coughing the first time My birthday is next week And I'm scared of what I'll feel I'm well aware of what in life is on the highlight reel I hope that I'm further than 24 by the time I turn 25 My mom called and asked if I want to keep things from when I was five I'm gonna start a family And settle down somewhere I don't need a house in the suburbs Or a view on an island somewhere Someday I wanna be old and gray and at peace somewhere down inside Save yourself from the wrinkles but you can't smile without the smile lines I can't even picture How everything will change Kids start having kids And I wonder if life turned out the right way Emotions are like shoestrings you gotta lace up when they come untied I paid dad for the couch I've always had trouble with goodbyes Where did the better times go? What if we're meant to die young? Innocence is taken from all All life is letting life go "Boy, you are really something... All that talk of greatness... Light coming off my sails... What a joke" Where did the better times go? What if we're meant to die young? Innocence is taken from all All life is letting life go Where did the moments all go? They make you who you are now Memories are valuable All life is letting life show "I mean, at least, you taught me one thing Stick to it, right? Well, that's just what I'm gonna do" "Oh, you still don't know how to pick your fights, do ya boy?" Where did the better times go? What if we're meant to die young? Innocence is taken from all All life is letting life go Where did the moments all go? They make you who you are now Memories are valuable All life is letting life show
