Turpentine

I watch you grow away from me in photographs
And memories like spies
The salt betrays my eyes again
I started losing sleep and gaining weight
And wishing I was ten again
I could be your friend again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6 AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you, we're growing up

I heard you found some pretty words to say
You found a little game to play
And there's no freaks allowed in here
And just when we believe we could be great
Reality it permeates
And conquers from within again

These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6 AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up
Yeah...

Ok... were ok... okay
Ok... were ok... okay
These days we go to waste like wine
That's turned to turpentine
It's 6 AM and I'm all messed up
I didn't mean to waste your time
So I'll fall back in line
But I'm warning you we're growing up
