You used to laugh with your hands at your side
Awkward kid who never felt quite right
You used to play kingdom hearts all day
Pretend that you were a star with the songs you made
But you could never be
Who you wanted to be
When you were 16
Man we had some wild dreams
I’ve been feeling like a time bomb every night
Cause it’s always bad dreams until I close my eyes
And then wake in the morning drink my stupid coffee
Yeah this can’t be fine
I’ve been running for a lifetime on my own
Singing stupid songs to a telephone
For a hotline operator says you should be sleeping
Well I’ve been up all night
Watching sad movies and playing drinking games
Realize some have it good and others just feel pain
You just play your guitar everyday
Life’s just been okay but let’s not start again
You could never be
Who you wanted to be
When you were 16
Living on some crazy dreamz
I’ve been feeling like a time bomb every night
Cause it’s always bad dreams until I close my eyes
And then wake in the morning drink my stupid coffee
Yeah this can’t be fine
I’ve been running for a lifetime on my own
Singing stupid songs to a telephone
For a hotline operator says you should be sleeping
Well I’ve been up all night
