when we were young and restless

when we were full of fear

when we were brave and reckless

when we were full of cheer

when we were all protected

when we were short in years

when we were all neglected

when we were kings in seas

i just want a friends i don't wanna lie

i spend it on cigarettes hoping i would die

what's up in that cup i just take a taste

now i got my new friends take it to the face

isn't this the goal and this ain't the cage

now i feel i'm running and so i'm running away

i'm living a dream even just pretend

i just wanna fly i just wanna friends

when we were young and restless

when we were full of fear

when we were brave and reckless

when we were full of shield

when we were all protected

when we were short in years

when we were all neglected

when we were kings and seeds

seventeen and i'm out of the loop

everyone else think i'm being too vague

yeah who knew i had something to prove

told you you touched me you getting the plague

like have you been defined as a problem boy

every weekend i'm building a case that's how you do

when you stuck at the bottom you all threw it in

and i'm taking the bait

like what could be better than dopamine

it got me feeling like i'm part of jodeci i feel like

god was spitting our mona lis

so i put that in the rhythm and poetry

who needs a body when you're just a ghost

i'm growing up but i'm doing the most

did what i did to live and to cope

i won't give up while i'm giving them hope

when we were young and restless

when we were full of fear

when we were brave and reckless

when we were full of cheer
