Seventeen in an old man's bar

Out of place but we've come so far

Mother had said be home by ten

But we got carried away

I remember back then

When we swore it would be the last time

We were young and naive with the world at our feet

Thought I messed up

Only had myself to blame

Told myself that it would never same

Now I recognise

It was all inside my head

I've been holding my breath

I've been biting my tongue

In these lonely halls

Where our rioting sung

And the memories come crashing in

When we hadn't a care

Life just moved so slow

We were young and naive and afraid of growing old

Thought I messed up

Only had myself to blame

Told myself that it would never same

Now I recognise

It was all inside my head

I tell myself over and over again

I'm holding onto things I would rather forget

Thought I messed up

Only had myself to blame

Told myself that it would never same

It was all inside my head

I tell myself over and over again (I've been holding my breath I've been biting my tongue)

I'm holding onto things I would rather forget (in these lonely halls where our rioting sung)

I need to face my fears but it's all too much (and the memories come crashing in)

But I'd rather do it now than go out of touch (when we hadn't a care life just moved so slow)

I swear

Oh I swear

It was all in my head
