[Verse 1]
My father told me this is how it would be
But you never see it coming when you’re seventeen
Time marches on with the fading faces
The only thing that stays the same is
Everything changes
We spent those days full of hope and expectation
And most of the time we were bound to miss (bound to miss)
But I had your back and we held tight to our aspirations
It never crossed my mind that it would come to this
Now it's come to this

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been chasing ghosts
Losing my mind
Everyone's moving on
I must be falling behind

[Chorus]
But I'm still alive, still alive
Dead set on staying young and free
'Cause I'm still alive, still alive
Am I killing time or is it killing me?

[Verse 2]
I remember the night (I remember the night)
The bitter taste of goodbye (The bitter taste of goodbye)
You felt it too, I could see it in your eyes
We stood the test of time, but could we stand the test of change?
I knew in that moment we'd never be the same
Walk away
Everything changes
Time marches on with the fading faces
The only thing that stays the same is everything changes
Now it's come to this
[Pre-Chorus]
I've been chasing ghosts
Losing my mind
Everyone's moving on
I must be falling behind

[Chorus]
But I'm still alive, still alive
Dead set on staying young and free
'Cause I'm still alive, still alive
Am I killing time or is it killing me?

[Bridge]
Thick or thin
My brother, my friend
I will stand up for you in the end

[Outro]
My father told me this is how it would be
But you never see it coming when you’re seventeen
Thick or thin
My brother, my friend
I will stand up for you in the end
