lyrics

it's a massive cliche
to reminisce
on the good ol days
but we're gonna do it
anyway

sometimes it feels poetic
sometimes it feels prosthetic
regardless we hear
the same refrain,

"this is not the way
that you thought
it would turn out
did ya?"

i met my first best friend
on the bus
in the first grade
we talked dragon ball z
and tony hawk games

we vandalized our neighbor's house
we called him don, he was a grouch
in retrospect, i hope he was okay

"this is not the way
that you thought
it would turn out
did ya?"

this is not that complicated
kids will be kids
and when grown ups get to fighting
there is a shift
and the heart sees it right to harden
and reject the gift
yet when overwhelmed by forgiveness
the words hit different

"this is not the way
that you thought
it would turn out
did ya?"
