lyrics

i want the life i used to have,
i want that sense of purpose back,
i wanna feel you next to me,
just like the way that it used to be
i wanna let the future go,
i want the life i used to know,
i wanna feel you next to me,
hear you say this is the way it’s supposed to be

don’t give a damn about my career,
and to hell with my newfound family and friends
let’s get that Chris Arruda album,
and fall asleep in the back of my car again

and you don’t have to tell your sister,
and i won’t say a word to my dad, and matter ‘fact,
don’t mention this to your new partner,
he’d only try to split us up again

i’ll trade in these Aldo boots for my old faded DC skate shoes and let’s
go longboard down to Oak Bay beach,
and we’ll look at all the stately homes that we’re never ever gonna own because,
we’ve got everything we need

and i just don’t wanna give a damn anymore
just don’t wanna give a damn anymore
just don’t wanna give a damn anymore
just don’t wanna give a damn anymore

let’s get all drugged up, try to score,
let’s sweat the small stuff, not ignore it,
get heated over nothing like before,
he said, she said, that’s important

i want the life i used to have,
i want that sense of purpose back,
i wanna feel you next to me,
just like the way that it used to be
i wanna let the future go,
i want the life i used to know,
i wanna feel you next to me,
hear you say this is the way it’s supposed to be

‘cause i know this is the way it’s supposed to be

we could forget who we’ve become,
the last seven years aside,
climbing trees and 9-5
i could forget about this town,
i could forget about my drive

we could forget who we’ve become,
no well wishes or goodbyes,
no getting over moving on
i could forget who i am now,
i could forget about my drive

(don’t you think we’ve moved to far away)
(don’t you miss the way things used to be)
(don’t you think some things weren’t meant to change)

we could forget who we’ve become,
cut commitments, sever ties,
sleeping in and wasting time

we could forget who we’ve become,
the complications we’ve designed,
everything and everyone
