Waves of time that pass us by
Leave the future open wide
Certain memories we can't hide
Are the pieces to our souls

Life can veer ahead so mean
And I was only seventeen
Everything was all mixed up
And I started to change
Questions filled my angry head
Looking for an answer
From you

I lived near that darker place
'Cause all I wanted was a taste
But I'll escape without a trace
And so will you

Life can veer ahead so mean
And I was only seventeen
Everything was all mixed up
And I started to change
Questions filled my angry head
Looking for an answer
From you
From you

All the lights in your room are off
And your face is in your hands
This is just a part of learning how to stand up to yourself

You're not fading away
You're just breaking in
All those hopes and dreams will come back again

You're trying to forget it all again and again and again

Life can veer ahead so mean
And I was only seventeen
Everything was all mixed up
And I started to change
Questions filled my angry head
Looking for an answer
From you
From you
From you
