tried to pin it down one night

for some of us it changed our lives

a few of us never saw it coming

like the fire it disappeared

it happens at a wonderful age

with the traffic lights

it reminds me of change

I made up rules to follow for good

now I wonder where I fucked up

and some of us did

the night never ends if we never go inside

the moon is always full

your calender is always pinned on summertime



[chorus]

were you planning on staying forever

you know the feeling gets old

but don't you remember

hold your breath

walked out into the daylight



tried to pin it down one night

for some of us it saved our lives

a few of us never saw it coming

like the fire it disappeared

it happens at a wonderful age

with the traffic lights

and my key chains

I made up rules to follow for good

now I wonder where I fucked up

and some of us did

I'm just scared I may never say goodbye

I won't be around

to hold you down and pry open your ears

as we watch



[chorus x2]



is this why you worked so hard?

is this why you've run so far?

same place, same hello, same goodbye

helps you get through beat up insides



[chorus x2]
