Things were so different when I was young
The only thing that mattered was having fun
There was no synthetic happiness
Is run through the wilderness
Pretending I was Indiana Jones
Uncovering the unknown
Now to recreate those feelings
I need a helping hand
To recreate those feelings
I need to expand
There's nothing left here for me
Only memories of a boy who once had big dreams
He thought he could change everything
It's taken it's toll on me
There's nothing left here for me
Get out while you can
It's soul crushing
I remember back when we use to play
Our first band our first show
This is all that I've ever known
From community halls to house shows
We watched our friends and family grow
And I found "where I belong"
Right here singing a long
And I found a place to call home
But now I feel alone
Everyone has come and gone
They packed their bags and carried on
From a small town to the city
Of bridges and broken industry
It seemed liked the best thing to do
Leave and start a new
I can't stand the sight
Of what has happened
It just isn't right
I can smell the stench of decay
My home is in disarray
And my friends and family aren't who they use to be
You spend your time searching
All the while things are changing
Life's taking different shapes
And everything's been rearranged
But no matter where you go
Your problems are sure to follow
And I've accepted that
All I want is to adapt
