Back in the day
When we were young with nothing to say
Going through a phase
Couldn’t find our way out of a paper bag
That’s what they all say
If you don’t act your age
It’s a game we never wanted to play
Melody plain
You have so many different names
They all sound the same
All the same you never change
A moth into a flame
Who only wanted fame
Such a shame, it’s such a crying shame
“Get in line,” they say
No way, Jose
“Shut your mouth and
Swallow the pills we gave you”
It’s insane
Living like this
Being at all
Minutes turn into hours
Into days
Into months and months into seconds
Seconds turn into years
Into lives
Into earth and memory
So please
Please don’t leave me this way
I promise to always behave
From now on
