Rose gold cheeks, with a smile that makes me weak I met her by a chance encounter I guess that's how the story goes Distance burns a fire underneath my feet She said she's going up into the North And all I have is only twenty weeks Just take me to the time where I lost my mind Just put your hand in mine and we'll be alright I want to say it's love, but I don't know what that is And the last time I said it was love, she went and Vanished right into the mist I don't know how, but every word she speaks is gold And I'm not fond of growing up But i'd be fine with growing old with you Just take me to the time where I lost my mind Just put your hand in mine and we'll be alright And oh, that's just how the story goes But now, there's nothing left to show Just take me to the time where I lost my mind Just put your hand in mine and we'll be alright

This love found us — snarling like a pack of wolves. Deadlines and schedules, tender hearts and "I love you's" Yes, you're leaving; you said it wasn't yours to choose. She wants to move on, why drain the blood out from a bruise? And I tell myself I'lll live for better days But the best thing in my life is walking away Choices, test runs — what else could we ever do? There's just two options: love or leave, it's up to you. My greatest fear is we'll be like we never were You'll be alright but for myself, I'm not so sure. And I tell myself she's here, but her body ain't. And I relapse and I get carried away I'm trying to be okay with everything But the truth is, I'm not

Friends 04:07
All of my old pens ran out of ink So I threw them all out and Just like my friends, I'd like to think They moved on to somewhere else Or someone else, I guess that I don't care anymore My shadow's racing up the hill, it's just caught up with me. Ego's pinned me down and I don't think I can breathe. My friends are getting older, but I'm not changing. My friends are getting older, but I can't change, I can only see. Everything I had came from a hand That now I've disrespected bad I'm so damn inconsiderate, but that's just Why I start again That's why I've got nothing but Fresh green ahead of me My shadow's racing up the hill, it's just caught up with me. Ego's pinned me down and I don't think I can breathe. My friends are getting older, but I'm not changing. My friends are getting older, but I can't change, I can only see. I beat myself, but I don't think you could see I wish everything was different, but maybe that's just me My friends are getting older, but I'm not changing. My friends are getting older, but I can't change, I can only see. My friends are getting older, but I'm not changing. My friends are getting older but I can't change, I can only see.

Autumn comes and I can barely breathe The lover of my life ripped from underneath I tell my dad, "I'm trying the best I can" I'm on the cusp of becoming my own band And now comes the part, that we so badly want to forget 'Cos when she's gone, I just don't know what'll happen next So what happens next? Eighteen doesn't speak, it only screams. I'm growing up and I don't know what to think Do as you're told, and you better not object Fall into line, well, this line is just a mess I look around, and see the faces of those I love Growing up means leaving That's exactly what it does Pick apart my future and tell me there'll never be anything left Tell me I'm a failure if I don't comply and be "just like the rest" I am so afraid of whatever might happen next But it's okay to be afraid Of what happens next Little boy moves up to a bigger town "You better learn to swim or else you'll drown" "New York or Nashville, doesn't matter where you land" It's getting hard to feel okay again So scared of disappointing all the people that I do respect I wanna show my parents that I'm alright, and I'm one of the best I am so afraid of whatever might happen next But it's okay to be afraid Of what happens next It's okay to be afraid.
