lyrics

I’m trying to remember
What you can’t recollect
But the salad days just fall short
I wonder if it’s easiest to forget?

I can see you struggling
Senescence has got you down
You aren't breaking free anymore
I probably won't see you around

And this has got to be the worst part of growing up
Stuck in between developmental stages with no plans on following up
What I like and what I need are two completely different things
And with the way it went with you I am not sure of anything

Will I realize what's important changes over time?
Will I throw in the towel and abandon what I've done?
Will you ever finish demoing the songs I've never sung?
And will you ever come back to where you grew up?

You're taking the hard way out
Another long walk home
I ask you what’s this about?
But none of your plans are your own

Nothing gets through to you now
And what's the difference with me?
Ill figure it out somehow
What things were meant to be

And I will realize what's important changes over time
And I will throw in the towel and abandon what I've done
Cause you'll never finish demoing the songs I've never sung
And you'll never come back to where you grew up

Write one more verse
Don't go to work
This is your last chance before we disperse
