lyrics

We grew up tired
Bored even in our dreams
We grew up tired
Bored before we turned fifteen

I know what you said
I've said it, too
But saying things
Is quite overused
And we've been here too long

There was a time
When I thought my heart would ring
There was a time
When I could feel anything
I know what you want
I want it, too
But wanting's all
That I want to do
And we've been here too long

You were a child
Well I guess I was, too
All we did
Was all that we could do

Now I see your face
And I just don't know
Where's that girl I knew?
Where did she go?

I used to think
That love never died
I used to think
If we tried and we tried
And we tried….

But we've been here too long
Yes we've been here too long
