If you can't live without me, Why aren't you dead yet?

Heres a story about a group of kids I once knew

suburban living rules forbidding and time unwilling

were going to live forever

Too big for this town to keep us down

Oh yeah but while were here we'll rule the streets watch the city sleep

and we'll all fall down trying not to grow up

we'll all fall down falling in love

it's all the same when you are young

Time attacked and killed them in their sleep

And they never saw it coming until it was too late

When she slips away you'll hear her sing:

your bodies get bigger your hearts get thinner

your shoulders get colder your tears freeze over

so run towards the summer

don't look ahead or you'll miss it

this is the song of lost innocence

Nobody listens to what they don't want to hear

you can never come back here

So when they did the earth shifted

and the years fell down on them in waves of menace

landslides of distance in forms less resistant than friendship or words that can't be found

but need screamed

The curtain falls on this scene

They all fell down and they all fell apart

They forgot how to love when they moved to the coast

The dreams that they had can't be the same

They lost each other now they are changed
