lyrics

Sometimes I worry that I've lost the fight
Another week spent paralyzed
And in my mind I'm still making Dopamine with my brother
Change comes harder, the older that you are
And in my mind I'm still shooting Nerf guns in 1992
Hey kid, we're really doing it now
Look at you go
Hey baby, the summer's almost here
I was thinking maybe we could disappear
Sometimes I worry that I waste my time
I write a song and then feel alive
But it costs a lot to play the rock and roller
Change comes harder, the older that you are
I was wishing I could be right where you are
