2012 - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Golden halo 'round your head I thought

Disconnected inside our mirage

Don't hold your breath, don't look for this again

'Cause once it's dead and done, I promise it's the end

So if I bite your apple from the holy tree

Does that mean that you'll always stay with me?

'Cause now I'm thinking

Maybe I could keep a little piece of when I was just seventeen

Where I sleep in castles and I win the battles

And friendship's forever and you're coming back

From your wedding rings, and your fenced in dreams

It's nevеr who I thought we'd be

'Cause wе were the wild, stars in our eyes

And we ran the night but now the sun's rising

2012's nothing but the death of us and it won't ever be as it was

We're new-age antiquated, overrated, posters faded

But I still put my faith in teenage dreams

Said you loved me or so I thought

The echoes wrapped around the city block

In headlines I hug you, the missed calls pile up

'Til my muscles lose your number's memory

So if I dream in decades long gone now, does it mean I can go back somehow?

'Cause lately I've been trying to rewind things

And relive yesterday as the same kings and queens

Where you were the sun and I lived to let you shine

Where our friends were our friends and they weren't only mine

And the pictures don't hurt and I don't wish I was living secondhand

'Cause we were the wild, stars in our eyes

And we ran the night but now the sun's rising

2012's nothing but the death of us and it won't ever be as it was

We're new-age antiquated, overrated, posters faded

But I still put my faith in teenage dreams

You still make me feel like, you still make me wish I was back in a dream

When we ruled everything
