I used to run
Camp in the backyard and
Play in the sun
We couldn't wait to grow up
Man we were young
All of the crazy things
We thought we'd become
We were so young

Before mom and dad went grey
Before my friends moved away
I never thought I'd feel this way but I do
Before I knew what it meant
To love somebody you can't get
And fight the voices in your head that tell you what to do

When did the simple things get so complicated?
When did the future stop feeling so far?
When did our lives decide to play out like they did?
But we're getting smarter
The farther and farther we go

The farther and farther we go
The farther and farther we go

We laid in the grass
Talking and holding hands
We thought it would last
All of the things we had
And when I look back
Back on the past someday
Maybe I'll laugh
We were so young

Before mom and dad went grey
Before my friends moved away
I never thought I'd feel this way but I do
Before I knew what it meant
To try to love somebody you can't
And fight the voices in your head
That tell you what to do

When did the simple things get so complicated?
When did the future stop feeling so far?
When did our lives decide to play out like they did?
But we're getting smarter
The farther and farther we go

We're getting smarter
The farther and farther we go
When did the simple things get so complicated?
We're getting smarter
The farther and farther we go
When did our lives decide to play out like they did?
We're getting smarter
The farther and farther we go
