Then/Now

[Hook] We were down at the park til the dark playing Deli Waiting for my girl to hit me up on the tele Bumping summertime hits like Machine Gun Kelly Chewing barbecue until we filled in the belly Remembering the good times I once had Thinking what I did to make all go bad Sitting on the curb wishing you were next to me But I'm sorry, I'm busy living in the memory [Verse I] Playing ball in the streets Waiting for the lights to tell us time to come and eat Cuts on my arms/scabs on the knees Stinging in the skin from the sweet summer breeze After the food there were television specials Staying up late, go to bed at eleven (huh) Talking in the after hours figure out the issues The days so repetitive we ran outta tissues Can't wipe away the memory Wishing I could go back to when I was a better me Back when there was not a damn thing to worry bout I could take a stroll and I wouldn't have to hurry out I was looking forward to growing up Wishing for whatever, not knowing it would suck Cherish it/every little moment that you have Because the happiness you have finds a home in the past [Hook] [Verse II] Once you taste the bliss you can Guzzle it down with a vase of shit And that's how I describe the current point Fighting for the silence up against the bully noise Now I'm looking all around me Noticing nothing but dirt in my surroundings And the silhouettes of people walking away Wondering what I did to make you not wanna stay But that's how life works Every so often you get kicked by the world Every couple of days I find myself on the floor With your back turned/but there's not a hole in yours So I return to the concrete Taking bike paths off my mind's streets And you weren't told to come find me So just let me reminisce a minute bout my minds peace
