Sat on the stack, held it all back,
Let it all go to prevent a crack,
And it seems I miss you dearly.

Youth on my side, so I'll find the time,
I'll grow up someday but for now I'm fine,
I just wish that you were near me.

Glory days oh glory days behind me, set deep in tainted skin.
I'm well aware so don't remind me, how I can't seem to win.

Accept defeat, curse the cracks of empty streets.
But I don't wanna tell the same sad story,
Even if I did, you'd just ignore me.

I wear myself out trying to find an ending,
But I'll work this out when I stop pretending
that I could never let this go,
There's more to life than chasing ghosts,
But then hindsight's 20&20.

My old man once said "Take heed, don't wait until you're just like me,
To look back over history with nothing but regret".

So all my friends sang fuck forever,
Live today and die together.
We don't wanna tell the same sad story,
Heard it all before and that's fucking boring.

I wear myself out trying to find an ending,
But I'll work this out when I stop pretending
that I could never let this go,
There's more to life than chasing ghosts,
But then hindsight's 20&20.
