Remember when you were shorter
than mom and
you grew your hair down
long
long
long
and you wanted to be older?
(It was only supposed to be two weeks)

Remember when you never would've thought
a firework was a gunshot and
staying up until 10 was
late
late
late
and you couldn't wait to grow up?
(It's been more than two years)

Remember when needles were
your worst fear and
pills didn't kill, they helped
heal
heal
heal
and you wished your life away?
(There were never any good old days)

Nostalgia's a slut for attention and
your life isn't over yet
