lyrics

We were underaged smokers
Looking for someone of age to buy.
We were undercover tokers.
All we did was drive around getting high.

All that time, I thought you knew where we were going.
All that time, I thought you had a plan in store.

We thought that we were really arty:
Patches and pipes, sipping on wine.
We thought that we were the life of the party
But our curfews fucked with our good time.

All that time, I thought you knew where we were going.
All that time, I thought you had a plan in store.
A great escape toward the exit sign that was glowing:
I left you reeling inside the revolving door.

Older, wiser, no longer friends
Called you up to make amends
"I'm not proud, but I try."
And Pixar films still make you cry.

It's hard to merge with the passing cars
Going 40 MPH in the suicide lane.
I hope wherever you are
You've slowed down enough to go sane.
You've grown up enough to go sane.
