Way back then

I was naive

In my high-school days

I dreamt of being a rock star

Times have changed

The scene is dead and gone

 

Then a score and 5 years in

I thought I would make it

Without playing shows

It was mine for the taking

I was dead wrong

And nothing has changed

 

But can you see what I see?

 

This place is colder

When I’m older

Do you remember me?

The stage I used to stand

On has turned into a wasteland for me

 

Let’s cut out

And rearrange the pattern of the airwaves

‘Cause I’m outdated

I just wanna hear some stories

(Someone else’s story)

 

Before I choke

Could you take my hand

And take me back to where all of this began?

I should have known that nothing stays the same

 

Now can you feel what I feel?

 

This place is colder

When I’m older

Do you remember me?

The stage I used to stand

Now has turned into a wasteland for me

 

(So now it’s just a question of which one of us could burn first

If I sing louder

Can I be like a star in the early morning?

But my lungs have given up on breathing

Because of the smoke in the room

This isn’t working anymore)

 

I panic and tremble

In a room before a show

Singing to a crowd won’t do me justice

So I will leave this place

Don’t get me wrong

I hate myself for being this way

But some things never do change

Yeah some things never do change

 

This place is colder

When I’m older

Do you remember me?

The stage I used to stand

Now has turned into a wasteland for me

 

The 2000s is far from here

But I’m still trying to get there

This is for your last temptation

Before you follow the fashion

 

(Let’s take it back)
