[Verse 1]

Aren't you tired?

I know I am

Do you still want me here

In the space between you and your hands?

We shrank the summer down

To twenty-four miles

I can still hear the sound

Of you laughing all the way down

[Verse 2]

We built a tower

Out of water and sand

Make it taller than both of us

And we tear it apart with our hands

Look at us carefree

As we destroyed what we made

I love you carefully

And I act like I'm dumb for my age

[Verse 3]

And I know we're older

But she still makes you cry

And just because she told you so

It doesn't mеan that she's right

And it still gets ugly

And you still bite your tonguе

But you still have more fight in you

Than you ever really did when you were young

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 4]

Give it up for Plain Jane

There isn't really much to say

She's faster than a bullet train

And what you tell her, she will take to her grave

"Can you see the laugh lines?"

She holds her face in the mirror

She says it like nothing's wrong

But I can hear her disappointment from here

[Verse 5]

You think you look older

I think you look alive

You were right before when you

Told me, "Living takes more than to just survive"

What's a word for lonely

That doesn't mean alone?

And what's that thing you told me?

Something I would understand when I was grown

[Verse 6]

I don't know what I heard

Or what it takes to forgive

You were mad at the whole world

You were angry it didn't stop when you did

I am building something else

It's not something I will tear down

I will make it myself

And I'm too proud to break that promise

I'd do anything but ask for your help
