I'm moving out
I'm moving on
I'm leaving town and
I'm staying gone
I'll never regret the things that I've done, they drove me insane but still made me feel young.
(Made me feel so young)
Trying hard to do things for myself
Twenty years old and life has already been hell (already been hell)
So I look at the time and go on my way, remember my words
They'll make sense one day.
(They'll make sense one day)
I sit here and wonder how much ground there is to cover, before I get much older, (I'm not getting any younger) and I'd like to say that I believe in fate, so I won't waste these precious days wishing negativity on all the things I think I hate.
These weeks go by in the blink of an eye
The days all blend together, I swear there's just not enough time
For all the little things
Like there used to be
They used to mean the world to me.
I sit here and wonder how much ground there is to cover, before I get much older, (I'm not getting any younger) and I'd like to say that I believe in fate, so I won't waste these precious days wishing negativity on all the things I think I hate
Frustration
Temptation
I hate this
I'm not sticking around
(No I'm not sticking around)
I sit here and wonder how much ground there is to cover, before we get much older.
(I'm not getting any younger)
I sit here and wonder how much ground there is to cover, before we get much older.
(I'm not getting any younger)
I sit here and wonder how time that I have..

All the way, all the way into the back of the room
Gather 'round while I tell of things that we could do
I hear that echo, in my mind, it's ringing true
Sing it back, sing it back in a slightly different tune..
Turn the clocks back, to when this moment was new, when I had time, the time was spent with you
Like a vine would follow the sun as it grew,
When the daylight came, it followed you, it followed you
When it all was new, and every night was a star
We'd stay up after the moon until the first morning light shone through
When it was new
Every night was a star
Stay up after the moon
Til the first morning light
Shone through
Now the windows have changed
Just a frame for the pane
Until the moment breaks us through
Brush the dust off the canvas
That you thought you lost
You never finished that perfect work of art
Painting over the cracks until the image looks like new
A slightly different picture than the one that you once drew
When it was new
Every night was a star
We'd stay up after the moon
Until the first morning light shone through
When it was new
Every night was a star
We'd stay up after the moon
Until the first morning light shone through..
All the way, all the way into the back of the room, gather 'round while I tell of things that we will do
So alive like a burning stick of dynamite
To strike this fuse and set the night alight
Set the night alight.
All the way, all the way into the back of the room
Gather around while I tell of things that we could do...
