Between the cigarettes and the coffee breaks
I've learned to reject everything I know
And I don't like growing older
And now honesty is just this thing
Too many of us have too little of
And I don't like growing older
So I, I put my shades on and smile through the loss.
We have to let it go, into the ocean
Let the waves beat down the emotion
Like we used to share when we were young, when we were young
I will not let it go, this childish notion
That we can celebration our purest moments
I will push it down until I'm numb, until I'm numb
Between the colleges and the 9-5
I've learned to shut away my adventurous side
And I don't like growing older
And now my favorites things are those distance dreams
Too many of us have to little of
And I don't like growing older
So I, I put on my shades and smile through the loss.
We have to let it go, into the ocean
Let the waves beat down the emotion
Like we used to share when we were young, when we were young
I will not let it go, this childish notion
That we can celebration our purest moments
I will push it down until I'm numb, until I'm numb
And it gets me to thinking.
There's no light in the woods, just the moon and the stars
There's a fire in my soul, but my heart is at war
I'm open and beaten, but at least I'm honest
I've fucked and I've fought and I've sorted my losses
Dreamed I could love and suffered the cost
I've lied and I've cheated, but haven't we all?
I'm not afraid, still making plans
Give me your spirit, your heart and your hand.
We have to let it go, into the ocean
Let the waves beat down the emotion
Like we used to share when we were young, when we were young
I will not let it go, this childish notion
That we can celebration our purest moments
I will push it down until I'm numb, until I'm numb
