I remember all the nights
when we drove.
The rain would paint the road
"Stop, Caution, and Go,"
and we would burn something
to "Girls, Girls, Girls" by Jay-Z.
But that was when it all
still felt so sweet.
The boy is now a man,
and he can't unsee
the future in the distance.
Oh I've waited far too long,
and I've been faded far too long,
and I'm afraid that all my wrongs will pull me under.
Don't waste your time
inside your mind.
When I came back
from the sunbath,
I knew that nothing was the same.
Can I take care
of what I want
if I'm always far away?
Don't waste your time
inside your mind.
