lyrics

Time flies with a blink of an eye
And a whisper that reminds you it's cold outside
Again, not again

I'm so sick of this insanity
And afraid of my hypocrisy
Why is this my reality?
Please take me back
I don't wanna grow up
I don't wanna grow old

All I want
Is to be alone
I'll wait til summer comes, and I'll be fine
All I need
I'm begging you please
For just one reason to thank you, to smile
So please don't forget me

Here's to scraping your elbows and to falling on your face
but the harder you laugh the less you feel the pain
Here's to not wishing you were dead and to shaving both your legs
for the first time, because one stupid girl made you feel self conscious at summer camp

All I want
Is to be alone
I'll wait til summer comes, if I have to
All I need
I'm begging you please
For just one reason to thank you, to smile
So please don't forget me

I spend so much of my time scraping gum off the sole of my shoes,
When I know I should just keep walking so I won't be left behind

Pretty violets and oranges
I'll peel the skin off if I have to
Pretty violets and oranges
Please, please, please don't forget me

Is the changing of the seasons a real cure for my depression
Or is it just a band aid for my internal demons?
I don't know

A kaleidoscope of colors in the sky
Distorting all the memories, sewn carelessly
Through my mind
