Lyrics

Let’s roll the dice once more just to see where it lands
We got big plans sitting on the rooftop drinking a tall can
Some neighbour called the cops so we just ran and ran
Down your high school street, the one where you got beat up in your childhood, damn

But oh what a thing to be older now
Looking back, oh how we turned out

It’s the same thing now as it was when we were fifteen
Chasing after some dream
Just a couple kids with their heads in the clouds
Both feet off the ground
Always reaching for something
Never getting closer, pushing up a boulder
Look at us now
We’re older but we still haven’t figured it out

Let’s spin these tires once more just to see if it sounds the same
Speeding down backroads, skinny dip in gravel pits so late
We carved our names in bark and you just laughed and laughed
Said it’s you and me forever as you took off your sweater and we danced out in the rain

Oh what a thing to be older now
Looking back, oh how we turned out

It’s the same thing now as it was when we were fifteen
Chasing after some dream
Just a couple kids with their heads in the clouds
Both feet off the ground
Always reaching for something
Never getting closer, pushing up a boulder
Look at us now
We’re older but we still haven’t figured it out

And I’m right here, I’ll be right here always
When you wake up and you’re calling my name

It’s the same thing now as it will be when we’re fifty
Chasing after some dream
Still a couple kids with their heads in the clouds
Music turned loud
Always reaching for something
With eyes closing and hearts are wide open
Just look at us now
We’re older but we still haven’t figured it out
