[Verse 1]

We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs

That got out somehow without lookin' back

It's over, it's over

We were the ones that grew up too fast

On the front porch steps when we still had friends

It's over, it's over

We were the kids who were laughin' last

With big ideas and failed attempts

It's over, it's over

Repeat it now, repeat it with me

[Chorus]

It's in the way we can't explain

Why we were the ones who got away

It's in the way these memories will fade

So we always keep them locked away

Lock them away

[Verse 2]

We were the kids who would scrape and save

And we'd wait around for some better days

It's over, it's over

We were the kids that left one by one

We said we would when we were young

It's over, yeah it's over

Repeat it now, repeat it with me

[Chorus X2]

It's in the way we can't explain

Why we were the ones who got away

It's in the way these memories will fade

So we always keep them locked away

It's in the way we slowly replace

The pieces we left in yesterday

Repeat it now, repeat it with me

Repeat it now, repeat it with me

[Outro]

It's in the way these memories will fade

So we always keep them locked away

We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs

That got out somehow without lookin' back

It's over
