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?

"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?

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?

Where did the moments all go?

They make you who you are now

Memories are valuable

All life is letting life show
