    When I was young, still a kid
    I was unprepared, never thought before I did
    And now as I look back I can't believe it
    I told lies, needed proof, I was further from the truth
    So I locked myself in the corner of my room
    Yeah I thought maybe my view could be better
    I never knew what I did, it would all come back
    I'd be forced to sift through all the misdirection
    I believed in.

    I relied on my youth, I could make up an excuse
    And collected scars, yeah, I thought that I could choose
    And my way would be destined to deliver

    You never have as long as you want
    So don't get caught up in the…
    We never could take back time that we're wasting

    I only hope that you've been listening
    But I doubt you could repeat a thing
    Yeah I've been in that seat before
    It's always easy to ignore
    When no one wants or needs advice
    From someone they don't think is right
    And just cause I've been wrong before
    It doesn't mean I don't want more for
    You live in the long-term world and it's hard to endure
    (But ya) Do cause you've already seen and
    You know the routine now
    (We) maybe could meet in the middle
    It's not too difficult
    (To) Cause we're both just stuck with spinning wheels

    The odds aren't any easier on either side
    And just because you say it doesn't make it right
    Don't think I ever could repay you
    But it's still my life
    I hope I never have to say or go forever a day
    Without You

    (You) live in the long-term world and it's hard to endure
    (But ya)
    (Do) cause you've already seen and
    You know the routine now
    (We) maybe could meet in the middle
    It's not too difficult
    (To) Cause we can't take back this wasted time, but
    (You) never have as long as you want so don't get caught up
    (But ya)
    (Do) Yeah you've already seen and it's not any easier but
    (We) maybe could meet in the middle
    It's not too difficult
    (To) Cause we can't take back this wasted time.
