Lets play pretend
Like we can't hear the freeway from my window
Why is everyone in a rush, do they breathe?
The feel of your permanence, on my one legged heart
Why is everyone out of touch, can't they see?
My hair was too long and we were so gone
Whys the floor so cold? But I felt so warm
We were there too late, had a lot of trouble to make
Now we're still stuck no matter how many drives
No matter what
Strawberry syrup sixteens
Nothing ever felt that sweet
Strawberry syrup sixteens
Life in the back seat
And nothing really stuck, now nothing really sticks
Except the sound of the kids, the sound of the kids
The city that I love is the city that I ran from
You'd say "wait 'til we're on our own we'll have so much fun"
Youth so pretty on the screens we watched
When we couldn't do much on our own
So we went where they played out lies for fun
My hair was too long and we were so gone
Whys the floor so cold? But I felt so warm
We were there too late had a lot of time to waste
Now we're still stuck, no matter how many drives, no matter what
Wishing to skip it all
