When I was young, I had a dream
That time was shifting speed, oh
Then we grew old, grew a beard
Settled down and lost touch

And no one there, one of us
Would cut ties and then drift off
Our younger years fade away
And we're forced to move on

But we've learned how to fake it
And we've learned to be broke
And we've dodged all the bitterness
That grew in our homes
And you've proved me desperate
'Cause I'm still holding on
And you've learned I won't admit it
How hard it is to just let go

(How hard it is to just let go
How hard it is to just let go)

And now I dream life is a path
Full of vines to walk through
And maybe in a couple years
I'll tell you if this song truth

'Cause we're never lost with sattelites
Take a walk for five long days
And it'll glow forevermore
But my strength will soon fade

But we've learned how to fake it
And we've learned to be broke
And we've dodged all the bitterness
That grew in our homes
And you've proved me desperate
'Cause I'm still holding on
And you've learned I won't admit it
How hard it is to just let go

(How hard it is to just let go
How hard it is to just let go)

When I was young I had a wish
That I would take my bones away
Travel far, feel alive
See the sun from a new place

And I would lie into the lights
Of galaxies from far away
And they'll glow forever more
But my strength will soon fade
