[verse 1]
gone, we blew our time away
gone away from our endless childhood nights
but for now, we’re running out of time

[verse 2]
kid rolls up her sleeves, says “i don’t understand
why your busting”
and it’s hot, but she’s cold
she’s got tears on her nose
she’s packing up her clothes
she’s moving down the road
saying fair well to all her friends
cause everything thing good must have an end
she said, “laugh while you can, you’re never gonna see them again”
say, “hold their hand as tight as you can”
say to you, “you never look down, you’re never gonna land”

[verse 3]
a mother’s love, and a father’s hand
can always pull you out of quicksand
but you get up, you just dust yourself off
but as you are walking away all they can do is cry
and hope maybe that they’ll catch your eye

[bridge]
so forget our drugs and leave our rock and roll aside
it ain’t helping us get through it
it’s love that gets us through it
it’s time that makes us due
we’re all leaving soon, who needs a friend, who needs a tune?
but for now, i am gonna miss you

lets all lock arms, and shout to the sun
“hey look god, what we have done”
lets finally come together
just in time, to come undone
even if victory isn’t written in our stars and board
we’ve still won

and touch the wall of our childhood, and then we’re gonna run
touch the wall of our childhood, and then we’re gonna run

[verse 4]
so here we are 18, wondering where the days have gone
looking down a long highway
nothing ahead but the red sun
so exchange your last looks
walk on a field for lost time
forever isn’t a measurement of time
forever isn’t a measurement of time
simply mean memories
for our kind

oh, our kind
