right answers, sequenced numbers
that night that we felt in tune
all laid out on the pavement by my door
the rain only makes it better
so take in it's lightest tune
and forget that we're all lettered
and matched up to the finest doom
but they were all just kids back then
taking serious what we pretend
it's not a race, what a waste
to be battling on how this ends
but we were all just kids back then
why should I even bother?
those words weren't meant for you
they're just stains from bottles leaking on the floor
the pain only taught me better
that dark eyes should never swoon
don't let the past have you remember
cause that's all you could ever do
they were all just kids back then
taking serious what we pretend
it's not a race, what a waste
to be battling on how this ends
but we were all just kids back then
