Good Riddance – Boys And Girls

i remember when you disconnected

with such high hopes but still rejected

i know i’ve been there

you thought something outside would always fix you

you should know by now it’ll always trick you

i know how it feels

it was all just boys and girls

making the most of a fucked up world

left with nothing left insane

live fast, die young, feel no pain

why can’t you open those eyes

wasted living your daydream dies

you’ve disconnected from all that you know

why?

mom and dad let you out at night

if you’re back by one it’ll be all right

and you’re safe now

safe from the world

but those nights won’t stay the same

there’s no more time for fun and games

and your habits are all wearing you down
