All These Years

Now is the time that we let things go.
The things we've done since Freshman year blow farther and farther away.
We can't help ourselves, because we know that we've grown up.
Our people have moved away and we can't get them back.
But now is really the time to move on.
We never fell in love in the first place,
but we were young and we knew everything.
Our guilt from what we've done will suffocate us.
We can't be held responsible for falling in love.
Our sins pull us back to where we belong,
since we were so young, the pain will keep us here.
But now we know that it's time to let go.
Can't we give up this plan that we've deemed so important?
We were all just Freshmen.
I died for my sins, but I never learned any different.
Don't hold me responsible for this,
I only knew everything when I was this young.
Keep me close to you when you leave.
These years won't just pass me by,
all these memories we've built will not leave me now.
We're all moving too fast, and I want time to pause.
Just pause.
Hold my clock,
I'll take you home and we can talk
about all these years
that slipped through our fingers.
All these years.
