Reverse - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Sat and watched the city crumble

Just as it was being built

And the bigger it gets, the less it's thought of

Well, I'm just scared of losing all that we have left

The colors of these roads are matching the rainy sky

We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes

And I hope someday, this will all reverse

And send us back to the times before

Before we grew up and lost the novelty of

Clear blue skies and climbing trees

Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

We used to just make friends so easily

Never judging anyone was how it's meant to be

Our parents were always heroes in our eyes

But TV and magazines soon changed our minds

The colors of these roads are matching the rainy sky

We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes

I hope someday, this will all reverse

And send us back to the times before

Before we grew up and lost the novelty of

Clear blue skies and climbing trees

Can't you see what our lives have come to be?

Watched the ones I love turn into rust

Wearing almost nothing, they go out after dusk

As if to be accepted, you need to sell yourself

Need to learn there's much more to this world

The colors of these roads are matching the rainy sky

We're too blind to see what's really here in front of our eyes

I hope someday, this will all reverse

And send us back to the times before

Before we grew up and lost the novelty of

Clear blue skies and climbing trees

Can't you see what our lives have come to be?
