Lyrics
Coming to terms with things on a comedown
On a train across the city that I no longer love
Taking me straight to the edge of our nowhere town
Oh, what a pity to see the lives we let go of
Thinking back on the summer
When that even meant anything
When I was a young man waiting for my life to begin
We were throwing stones at the sky
Aiming for the moon
Hitting the windows on the lighthouse
We gave up too soon
With the sand at my feet
The people around were the air that I breathe
We could stay young forever
Forever
Set fire to a cruel world
And the hearts of the cool girls
Sometimes, I wonder where you've been
'Cause I heard you got sober, moved away
Then someone died and you were never the same again
I guess your time came and went
With the sand at my feet
People around were the air that I breathe
We could stay young forever
Forever
Was it all in my mind?
'Cause everyone else grew older in time
I'll be alone forever
Forever
With the sand at my feet
The people around were the air that I breathe
We could stay young forever
Forever
With the sand at my feet (we were just kids)
The people around were the air that I breathe (we were just kids)
We could stay young forever (we were just kids)
Together
Was it all in my mind? (We were just kids)
'Cause everyone else grew older in time (we were just kids)
I'll be alone forever (we were just kids)
Together (we were just kids)
Who knew any better than this? (We were just kids)
All the hours spent wasted (we know nothing)
We were just kids (we were just kids)
We were just kids (we were just kids)
Who knew any better than this? (We were just kids)
All the hours spent wasted (we know nothing)
We were just kids (we were just kids)
We were just kids (we were just kids)
And you can leave home, never look back
Change your names, cover your tracks
And you might get lost from time to time
'Cause you're still just a kid trying to survive
