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
