we text as we eat
as we listen to the freaks
as we wait for the right of way.

we text as we talk
we're running as we walk
we're several little souls away.

we smoke as we choke
as we sink another coke
and we grin when it blows on mine.

we skate as we date
as we slowly suffocate
we're running out of time.

we spend as we mend
and we're happy to pretend
that everything's gonna be OK.

we shake as we break
never giving until we take
and we hate when we have to pay.

we flirt while we work
to forget about the hurt
and the trash that we left behind.

we sink as we swim
the ice is wearing thin
we're running out of time.

my life got cold.

it happened many years ago
when summer slipped away.

so chill now,
we've got many years to go
so take it day by day.

and long ago
i lost my soul
to some forgotten dream.

how was i supposed to know
it wasn't what it seemed?

and even though the last hello
has left me on the floor

i don't believe in romeos or heroes anymore.
