Colours

I’m not drunk and
I don’t wanna be
But they keep telling me to take a drink…
I’m making promises but I keep breakin them
Who will I be when I’m older?

Nobodies livin’ well
A dried up wishin well
The coins are wasted and nobody is fulfilled
See the ideas are there but
Nobody seems to care
They want it all handed to them
They want it all…
But you can’t have it all

When we were younger it was colours that brought us together
And games that grew us apart
I may never be young again
And these nights of forgettin just push me farther
When we were younger it was colours that brought us together
And games that grew us apart
I could never be young again
And these nights of forgetting just push me farther

Look at these imperfections on my body
I wanna say that I don’t wanna mean anything to anyone
But I know that that’s not true

There was a time when our idols were the kindly
Doormen smiling us through our experience
Now I see even they gotta smoke a cigarette sometimes

I want it all
But I can’t have it all

When we were younger it was colours that brought us together
And games that grew us apart
I may never be young again
And these nights of forgetting just push me farther
When we were younger it was colours that brought us together
And games that grew us apart
I could never be young again
And these nights of forgetting just push me farther

So don’t push me farther
I’ve had enough
