Twenty Years

We were just children and grown up close
How we made it this far only god knows
We bend the rules
Smashed our cars
Played with fire and broke our heart
Somehow came out laughing through the tears
Sure don't seem like twenty years

Drove into the desert and tape some care
Fill into the circle just like square peg
Growing one add a flower tap
How to make it become a car
I still taste the scoff we never did
Sure don't seem like twenty years

Danny dies of aids
Ryan dies of loneliness
Ricky dies try to make that turn
For all of us survivors
Stop and remember
Those of us whose candles don't burn anymore

For the classes that we ditched
For the precious stolen kiss
For the bridges that we burned
And the lessons that we learned
And the school lamp on the street
For the long eyes that we beat
And the stars that we wear
And the memories we share
Raise your glass up one more final cheer
Sure don't seem like twenty years
Sure don't feel like twenty years
Sure don't seem like twenty years
Ah ha, haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
