lyrics

well the first time that i thought of her she came to me so quietly
so calmly like a wrecking ball, calmly like a wrecking ball, calmly to me
and the second time i saw her she could twist around her lisp
she was borrowing those bracelets and giving me those eyes
watch out for the young ones, watch out for ‘em

time got away from me so easily
running wild and free so easily
oh my friend, we were so young then
oh my friend, we were so young
we didn’t know then it could get so bad and it could get so good
over and over, over and over
over and over

and the only thing i miss now is a thriller on a throne
and some friends to sit right next to me so i can’t be alone
i still wonder what comes next, yes, and i still worry
it was dangerous for a little bit, but not enough to hurt me
you gotta trust me when i tell you i’m not in a hurry
there’s too many places to get lost in, there’s too many forests

time got away from me so easily
running wild and free so easily
oh my friend, we were so young then
oh my friend, we were so young
we didn’t know then it could get so bad and it could get so good
over and over, over and over

the truth is when i’m far enough away i can’t remember this
the truth is when i’m far enough away i don’t remember this at all
i don’t want to remember it
