I remember as a child Looking off of the rooftop As I grew, the view got lost But the clouds never seemed to stay Stay This, yes I know That my blood maintains its flow Even though I might not I get caught in tunnel-vision Single-minded thoughts But the older I became My view of life would change Every lesson that's worth learning Brought me pain I hope we get what we deserve A little taste of what we were I'm learning that nothing gold can stay Owning up to our past mistakes Mistakes Now I can say There are times I've dodged the blame I confess It rolled back, it rolled back Like a game God, it made me sick The way it hit when it all came For the years that I've seen change I've gone against the grain What goes around Comes back around again I hope we get what we deserve A little taste of what we were I'm learning that nothing gold can stay Owning up to our past, yeah I hope we get what we deserve A little taste of what we were Stepping back doesn't make it right Standing tall doesn't get you high Doesn't get you high Get you high Doesn't get you high (doesn't get you high) I forget, I forget How the clouds move I'm forgetting to view from above I forget, I forget How the clouds move after all I hope we get what we deserve A little taste of what we were I'm learning that nothing gold can stay Owning up to our past mistakes Mistakes
