farewell youth

pa turnpike

northbound on a dark night

driving into scranton for a difficult occasion

when you first got your license we were nowhere to be found

i was just a little kid back then but you let me hang around

but we're older now

farewell youth

i'm afraid i hardly got to know you

i was always hanging out with the older kids

always in a rush

but i was never sure from what

i was always hanging out with the older kids

the grief starts when bumping into friends turned acquaintances

we stumble around the small talk

we break the silence with jameson

but once we were inseparable

we were the only punks in town

we spent every weekend raisin' hell in the basement of your parents house

but we're older now

farewell youth

i'm afraid i hardly got to know you

i was always hanging out with the older kids

always in a rush

but i was never sure from what

i was always hanging out with the older kids

in someone's apartment

getting fucked up

to all our favorite records

drinking the cheap stuff

we couldn't get enough of growing up

i saw my childhood flash before me in the death of your closed eyes

at your irish wake we celebrate by trying not to cry

farewell youth

i'm afraid i hardly got to know you

i was always hanging out with the older kids

always in a rush

but i was never sure from what

i was always hanging out with the older kids

farewell youth

farewell youth

farewell youth

i'm afraid i hardly got to know you

farewell youth

farewell youth

farewell youth

i'm afraid i hardly got to know you

because i was always hanging out with the older kids
