[Verse 1]

Well we were drinking

In the basement

With all my best friends

So we can fit in

Well we got bottles

And we got cans

And we got poetry, that’s written on our, unwashed hands

Well I had heart

It was riddled with holes

We were riddled with youth

We were riddled with gold

But you were always so afraid

Of losing everything you love

And I was nothing more than high school saying

"I don’t give a fuck"


[Chorus]

I crashed my car into your house

The flames were spreading fast

And I was way too weak to move

This was way too good to last

So we won’t last

The flames are spreading way too fast

And we won’t last


[Verse 2]

Well, I’ve been listening to songs

When all I wanna do is write

And we were drinking on the sidewalk

Almost every single night

And I got scared I missed your call

I was sleeping in the park

But when the message finally sent

I couldn’t read it in the dark


[Chorus]

I crashed my car into your house

The flames were spreading fast

And I was way too weak to move

This was way too good to last

So we won’t last

The flames are spreading way too fast

And we won’t last


[Outro]

Well I am sorry

That I am not the same kid I was

Back in school

But I have finally changed

It took a long, long time

And I lost most my friends

But I am never coming back

And I am sorry

That I am not the same kid I was

Back in school

But I have finally changed

It took a long, long time

And I lost most my friends

But I am never coming back

Yeah
