Charade Lyrics

Well my ears are ringing like the bell that used to chime

Telling us recess is over and we no longer have time

To keep making all the memories in the years that people say

Are the best years of our lives

I swear those people don't know a thing

Because we're now too far apart to be friends

And I knew that this would only end

We tried hard to keep out of trouble tried hard to not get caught

And we made a shitty band and tried to be things that we're not

And I told you we were brothers and we'd never drift away

And it's funny now to think those things

It's been way longer than days

Since we lost track and we're not friends

Words never exchanged, just an end

To another stolen cigarette and another stolen beer

And I didn't know living past this meant regretting it next year

And we'd spill out all our problems as if they were something new

Flip the page and character change for both me and you

We were too far apart to be friends

But we played our parts out to the end

And I can't say I'm not happy no I can't say that I'm sad

Because the true best years of my life are the last few that I've had

Maybe someday we'll see each other and catch up on these things

Maybe I'm the only one who's grown out of that phase

When we were too dumb to not be friends

And we knew that this would never end

But, you were stuck on staying here

That I grew and left you in those years
