We used to live inside our afternoons
We were kids but that's all that there then
We drew lines right through the sidewalk
Mowed the lawns and shared a pack of cigarettes
I used to meet you at the bus stop
Where I swore to God I loved you then
Oh, how we've grown into our bodies
But we're all still searchin' for a soul
We're working hard for all the money
A stack of bills that we'll never understand
So you turned to all the alcohol
But man you're no better than your friends
I wanna be a famous speaker
Learn some bigger words to get you into bed
We might as well just use our bodies
Cause we know we're just ruining our soul
Oh and I said, "My my my my dear
Look at all the things that we've done wrong"
No, I don't think I'll get used this
These days they're just way too far gone
Well now what the hell has happened here?
We only love it when it's easy and it's free
Oh well, can we just keep on talking
Even though we don't know what any of it means?
We we moved out of our houses
It wasn't long before they taught us how to live
And you found me in the middle
When I was scared you said, "Boy, you gotta live"
Oh, I always thought I'd be somebody
But I guess, I'm just doing what I'm told
Oh and I said, "My my my my dear
Look at all the things that we've done wrong"
No, I don't think I'll get used this
These days they're just way too far gone
Well now what the hell has happened here?
We only love it when it's easy and it's free
You said, "Boy, you'll be somebody"
But I don't think that I want to anymore
