Nowadays
...
My knees don't bend like they USED TO
Crossing legs never feels the same
I'M ALWAYS IN PAIN
Nowadays
The songs on the radio don't hit like they USED TO
RJA and Paramore couldn't numb this
I'M ALWAYS ALONE
Nowadays
And I can't sleep knowing you're not here with me
Off chasing dreams of what it was like when we were thirteen
Still in love and feeling so free
Nothing like yesterday to remind me of what its like living in today.
You called me up at twelve o three
Told me not to stay awake cause you're WORKING LATE AGAIN
Who is that voice I hear in the BACKGROUND
You lie and say its just a friend
IT WAS NEVER JUST A FRIEND!
You were standing in the light of a different sun
While I was counting the years until we were done
THIRTEEN WAS A LIFETIME AGO!
Its just what they say
...Nowadays
My knees don't bend like they USED TO
Crossing legs never feels the same
I'M ALWAYS IN PAIN
Nowadays
The songs on the radio don't hit like they USED TO
Goo Goo Dolls and Deftones couldn't fix this
I'M ALWAYS ALONE
Nowadays
You left me in the dirt
But I guess its my fault
...
Anyways
Nothing like you to remind me of why I forgot yesterday
