A Year In The Past, Forever In The Future

This is a time in my life
Where everything is falling apart,
And at the same time, it's all coming together.
Those summer days that I longed for
Never really were what I
Wanted them to be.
Just like when beautiful people drive ugly cars.
Just like when pretty people crash ugly cars.
I'm hitting the road again
With five of my best friends.
We always seem to disagree,
But I still enjoy their company.
But I still enjoy their company.
And when I'm here,
I'll make you a mixed tape.
Those singers always know
Just what to say.
My throat is already hurting,
And it's not even the first day.
The record sounds great,
But for some reason
I can't pull it off from day to day.
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart,
And at the same time, it's all coming together.
It's all coming together.
It's all coming together.
It's all coming together.
This is the time in my life
Where everything is falling apart,
And at the same time, it's all coming together.
It's all coming together.
It's all coming together.
