I confess that we're in a mess
Used to effervesce, now things seem so grey
Afraid that I have to say
Things were special when we thought it would end
Being bored, something we abhorred
And we could afford to show off our scene
We've forgotten what it means
Any more cheap thrills will just make us ill
So we sit in some flat (Uh-huh)
Fight about this and that (Uh-huh)
A tedious tragedy
Even walks in the park (Uh-huh)
We don't do after dark (Uh-huh)
A waste of teenage dreams
If we started over again
Back to games in the hay, playing on ice skates, fast bends
Could we make ourselves care again?
Or are we stuck to giving in
Living on, living the end
Do-do-da-da-do
Da-do da-do
Da-do-da-da-do
Da-do-da-do
In a way, maybe it's okay
If we treat today like a memory
Carry on like it's all a dream
Never use our brains or we'll suss the game
Clouded eyes, what a compromise
As for living lies and castaways
And nine million wasted days
If we fool ourselves, then there's no one else
So we sit in some flat (Uh-huh)
Laugh about this and that (Uh-huh)
In one way it makes sense
And our walks in the park (Uh-huh)
Grow so sorry and dull (Uh-huh)
A terrible pretense
If we started over again
Back to games in the hay, playing on ice skates, fast bends
Could we make ourselves care again?
Or are we stuck to giving in
Living on, living the end
Da-do-da-da-do
Da-do da-do
Da-do-da-da-do
Da-do-da-do
