Verse 1:
Dreams don’t come true
They just fade in the ether
I guess just like you
And long breezes of winter
Age crude unlike wine
It all comes with time
Aspirations they die
I know, I can’t stand this either
Chorus:
I sit here and think
About what I never did
and say to myself
God you're a stupid kid
Verse 2:
You don’t grow up
Just because you get older
So much in my way
It’s like punching through boulders
Moonlit streets in my view
I guess it’s just the truth
I couldn’t help myself
How the hell could I help you?
Chorus 2:
I sit here and think
About what we never did
Opportunities passed
God I’m a stupid kid
I hear words so kind
like from the mouth of divine
I have no confidence
I’m such an idiot
My arms don’t feel you round
And words just can’t come out
Don’t know what it’s all about
But I can’t hear you now
