Its been four years since we chose who we want to be And my parents still giving me advice I don't need You can still catch us playing ball on Flallon st. Waiting for the field lights to brighten up our week I'm tired of waiting She's always complaining That we're stuck in this red light for too long So many questions Too many directions Not many suggestions This is what we've become.

This is how everything starts we get so caught up in thoughts of leaving everything behind us. You're under my roof my rules its like you don't have a clue of what really goes on with my life, so I know everything you said was for the best but here we go again. Just let me go because you've set me back 4 fucking years And every time you said to go straight to bed just know I wrote this one just for you. I know everything you said was full shit and I hate every word.

And its been so long since we're all been on Flalons street Sharing the same thoughts and laughing at our stupidity But I can't complain this happens with my friends everyday No I can't complain, we're bored together we'll be okay I probably said this a thousand times but they're the ones making the best of nights The days we carved our names under the top bunk it marks the memories of how things use to be. Do you remember the times the we said, We'll grow up fast and we won't last But we'll split ways in the end But then You said, you said, you said this will last forever You said, you said, you said this will last forever. And every moment I spend with you guys It feels like we've known each other for thousands of lives And yes, I must confess This is the closest thing to family that I can get I probably said this a thousand times but they're the ones making the best of nights These field lights keep getting dimmer and dimmer As we keep getting older and older. Do you remember the times the we said, We'll grow up fast and we won't last But we'll split ways in the end But then You said, you said, you said this will last forever You said, you said, you said this will last forever. Don't lose touch, i've been working all day We're too strong to fade away

I take a step forward but you take two steps back You sat there with a smile and I stood there in denial And now im piss drunk and youre pissed off Nothing makes sense to me at all And all these missed calls and these front yard conversations Lead me to a great discovery that youre holding back somthing I can see it in your face expression its not a mystery I'm still waiting For something that probably won't even happen My wheels are stuck need traction Because I'm still waiting Can't you see the only thing I wanted was just to be me I've kept the most innocent weapon next to me A weapon I can't control entirely But now the safety off and ready to fire at me A bullet I can't resist a bullet disguised as a kiss And now your stories are so boring and I can't take another While I'm thinking you're just spinning in your chair Slowly moving to conlusions that I'm better off without you This is pointless this is stupd, what did I get myself into ? Because I'm not waiting Can't you see that you've become the worst in me Because I'm not waiting can't you see the only thing I wanted was just to be me And every time you've been (I'm not waiting) just so away from me just know that I have been, (I stopped caring) waiting so patiently

I've been so cold, it's been 3 weeks too long and it's been like this since you've been gone You said you left because it was the best for us but lately it feels like its more for you And I know i'm supposed to be the supportive one and letting you do the things that you have to do But I'm weak and I'm sore and it feels I can't go on But I'm tired, yeah I'm tired I don't want to wait at this red light for too long and let the time pass by while I'm still stuck in drive Get back, its not what it seems It's not how it use to be And yeah I'm selfish, but yeah you're selfish Its getting colder, I'm getting colder And I can feel the color fadding from my eyes Is this where everything dies My nights getting longer and my days getting shorter things here just arn't the same as they use to be. I'm not some bookmark you can place where you want to and come in and out when ever the time is right for you I don't want to wait at this red light for too long and let the time pass by while I'm still stuck in drive Get back, its not what it seems It's not how it use to be And yeah I'm selfish, but yeah you're selfish And yeah you're selfish. Its coming back to me the things that I use to be I guess things never leave when they mean this much to me.

You said I was a disappointment, well I guess I might be Just burn the image you thought of me It seems that every turn I make Mistakes keep happening, I've run out of space I'm done with this So get me out of this ditch I fell in Suffocated with everything because you never believed me (im just saying, my lack of commitment has me tossing and turning) Was there something I missed ? I keep letting go when all I want is to stay in this moment To repeat the moments over and over Then they said to me, if I regret anything I regret nothing. You never believed me (im just saying, my lack of commitment has me tossing and turning) Take me back to the days in the sun when my heart would melt by just having fun. Take me back to the nights and the moon when I'd feel violent and lost in my room.
