Turpentine

I watch you grow away from me in photographs

And memories like spies

And salt betrays my eyes again

I started losing sleep and gaining weight

And wishing I was was ten again

So I could be your friend again

These days we go to waste like wine

That's turned to turpentine

Till it's six AM and I'm all messed up

I didn't mean to waste your time

So I'll fall back in line

But I'm warning you we're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say

You found your little game to play

And there's no one allowed in

Then just when we believe we could be great

Reality it permeates

And conquers from within again

These days we go to waste like wine

That's turned to turpentine

Till it's six AM and I'm all messed up

I didn't mean to waste your time

So I'll fall back in line

But I'm warning you we're growing up

I know we're growing

I know we're OK

These days we go to waste like wine

That's turned to turpentine

It's six AM and I'm all messed up

I didn't mean to waste your time

So I'll fall back in line

But I'm warning you we're growing up
