lyrics

I wasted my childhood cursing at the stars
I thought I could outrun this after crawling so far
I'm always making the right choice just a little too late
Reach for what I could have had before it's taken away

They pull the ladder up behind them, all I'm left to do is fall
What is it I'm missing when I shrink into the wall

I've waited, I've waited long enough
I've suffocated in the role I couldn't play for so long
Nostalgia's a curse I'll never have
I'll let youth slip through my fingers while I'm begging for my soul back

Threw your hopes at the horizon, far as you could see
The ghost of who I could have been casts her shadow over me
Watch me wither away with all your wasted time
Don't push your life aside while you try to save mine

I flew too close to the sun, Is this where it ends
What is it I'm missing when I shrug it off again

I've waited, I've waited long enough
I've suffocated in the role I couldn't play for so long
Nostalgia's a curse I'll never have
I'll let youth slip through my fingers while I'm begging for my soul back

I've waited, I've waited long enough
I've suffocated in the role I couldn't play for so long
Nostalgia's a curse I'll never have
I'll let youth slip through my fingers, I know I'll never get the time back
