Adolescent Eyes Lyrics

Grow up

Race to

The starting line

The gun will fire

And you'll climb up

To the moon

But you'll never touch the sky

And you'll never feel as high as when you're

Looking through your adolescent eyes

Wise up

To the news

You're one of a kind

But no one seems to mind

As you're sized up

Tamed and groomed

Until the world has lost its shine

And you think about the time when you were

Looking through your adolescent eyes

Wishing you were

Looking through your adolescent eyes

I remember when I used to call my friend

From my parent's home phone

Every digit still ingrained inside my head

Like the crack in my backbone

And I remember sitting awkwardly on your bed

Hanging on to every little thing you said

Isn't it strange? Tell me how does it make sense?

How much it mattered when there wasn't consequence

Every now and then

I think I'd do it again

The cuts the burns the scrapes

The drama and the escape
