Saying that we're young
and dying to be old
Crying out for freedom
but never wanting to grow old

And I'm here, here I am, hello
In the midst of teenage angst
Trying hard to be so much more
than we are it's too far, too far to go

Oh how, oh how are we supposed to know

We go far, driving fast, getting by
from the sadness in our lives
We get high, time goes by occupied by
the sadness behind our eyes

And why, oh why are we dropping one by one like flies

We say we're young, we're strong
and fast but is that enough
to have to say goodbye
to all the close friends in our lives

Is it time, is it a way to justify
dying before twenty
Is it time to say goodbye
to all your best friends
