The Ones We Knew
We grew up too fast and our lives got away
We grew apart I guess- but that's life as they say
We couldn't stay eighteen forever- I know
But maybe our twenties could have fucking slowed down
So let's raise a drink to the ones that we knew
And the memories before they're gone too
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Dwelling on things we don't love
And maybe we're only half dead
We still have a chance to reset
Yeah, we've got some time left
There's people I'd know if I'd see them again
But there's faces I've lost that belong to my friends
We couldn't stay close forever- I know
But maybe my memories could last 'til I'm old
So here's to the ones we knew and we lost
Now just the thought of a thought
Yeah here's to the ones we knew and let go
Left us with shadows of friends and their ghosts
The ones we swore we would never forget
But their laughs faded out like they didn't exist
The ones who made us who we became
But couldn't find a reason to stay
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Dwelling on things we don't love
And maybe we're only half dead
We still have a chance to reset
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Dwelling on things we don't love
And maybe we're only half dead
We still have a chance to reset
Yeah, we've got some time left
We grew apart I guess- but that's life as they say
We couldn't stay eighteen forever- I know
But maybe our twenties could have fucking slowed down
So let's raise a drink to the ones that we knew
And the memories before they're gone too
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Dwelling on things we don't love
And maybe we're only half dead
We still have a chance to reset
Yeah, we've got some time left
There's people I'd know if I'd see them again
But there's faces I've lost that belong to my friends
We couldn't stay close forever- I know
But maybe my memories could last 'til I'm old
So here's to the ones we knew and we lost
Now just the thought of a thought
Yeah here's to the ones we knew and let go
Left us with shadows of friends and their ghosts
The ones we swore we would never forget
But their laughs faded out like they didn't exist
The ones who made us who we became
But couldn't find a reason to stay
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Dwelling on things we don't love
And maybe we're only half dead
We still have a chance to reset
It's crazy- the time that we've lost
Dwelling on things we don't love
And maybe we're only half dead
We still have a chance to reset
Yeah, we've got some time left
