lyrics

We talked for hours, and
We slept for hours
And we got up, and we did that
Everyday for a while

And we’d fantasize about
Leaving town
For weeks or months on end
And coming back when we ran outta money

And we’d do that
We’d never change
We’d stay young
We’d stay insane

Never growing up
Always getting out
Out of trouble, debt,
And towns

So I never thought
That I’d be here
Watching you grow old
I watched you succumb to our fears

what’s another year
Of staying young?
I guess it’s your choice
To grow up and get out

So I wish I that I was older
At least I’d be growing up with you
Or I wish that you were younger
We could have been friends for years to tell the truth

I always told the truth

And I never thought it would end like this
Hoping you’ll come back from some bleak abyss

When you’re all grown up and you’ve gotten out
I hope you don’t forget about this town

Hope you don't forget about this town
