lyrics

On google maps street view
Outside of my parents’ old house
You can see me at 18
And my high school girlfriend by her car
I was walking her out
Both our faces are blurred
I guess they do that now for some kind of legal reasons
Seattle grey sky and the evergreens
So you can’t determine the season
I caught us there, yesterday
as I clicked my way down the street
The pavement slides like the hallway of time
Where the two of us slowly retreat
And I see
Youth was wasted on me

A serious youth
So self-absorbed
Window shopping for attention
I could never afford
I was shit-faced on genius
Singing my days away
You went to college
And put me on layaway
I wanna live where they never get old
And I'll try and forget all the big words I know
Put your fingers in mine
Kick your flats to the floor
And we'll shake till the buildings collapse on the shore
I almost died yesterday
When the lights ran out on the beach
So if we've still got a drink in that bottle
And one breath of youth left to breathe
Would you waste it on me
