Listening back to the shins

Like I'm seventeen again

I wish I could hold you then

Tell you you're gonna be fine and.

It's alright to cry

You can't be strong sometimes.

Like seeing the signs now that it's over

One, two at a time, pushing me closer

Like singing the lines over and over

Time never lasts just like they told you.

I miss the warmth of an august night

Laying out by a chlorine green light

But longing can be deceiving

Is it the place or the feeling?

Sometimes I still care

About what they might think of me now.

Like seeing the signs now that it's over

One, two at a time, pushing me closer

Like singing the lines over and over

Time never lasts just like they told you.

Like seeing the signs now that it's over

One, two at a time, pushing me closer

Like singing the lines over and over

Time never lasts just like they told you.

Just like they told you.
