Why can't I remember how to dance
Or how to talk to strangers
I tried but I just can't find energy
To go back to the way I used to be
And what's going on inside your head
When you're over excited
You can't get to bed
I bet you're dancing in your car
Listening to static
I know because I've seen it
Your secret is safe
While we're wasting time
We talk about when things were cooler
As we're wishing time
Would rewind it keeps going forward
And I'm sorry
Don't go on without me
We went to look at all those fireflies
On that street where there's no street lights
We were underwater standing there
Mesmerized by blinking little stars
And what's going on inside your head
Expecting nothing got butterflies instead
I bet you're laughing right now trying hard to stop
I know because I know it
Your secret is safe with me
While we're wasting time
We talk about when things were cooler
As we're wishing time
Would rewind it keeps going forward
And I'm sorry
Don't go on without me
Don't go on without me
Don't go on without me
While we're wasting time
We talk about when things were cooler
As we're wishing time
Would rewind it keeps going forward
While we're wasting time
We talk about when things were cooler
As we're wishing time
Would rewind it keeps going forward
And I'm sorry
Don't go on without me
