Lyrics

Lost Boy

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I'm driving on state lines pretending you're standing there

But I know your feet will never be where my eyes fall again

Moving on is something I've always had trouble with

But this year I swear I'll get past it

If I had a backyard I would bury all my memories of you in it

Everything that we had would die right down in the dirt

I wish I had the guts to say this to your face

But the past five years took everything I had and ripped it out of me

You used to make me feel like I was something

Now you make me feel like absolutely nothing

I want to fall asleep and wake up four years ago

We were just kids who didn't know what love was

Or what we were digging ourselves into

I want to know if you ever hear

All of these sad fucking songs I write about you

I wish I had the guts to say this to your face

But the past five years took everything I had and ripped it out of me

You used to make me feel like I was something

Now you make me feel like absolutely nothing

I know you probably hate who I've become

I'm just young and stupid,

But that's the way I always want to be

Forever a lost boy with bony knees

Forever a lost boy with bony knees

Forever a lost boy with bony knees

Forever a lost boy with bony knees
