Cold

It’s times like this

When it’s so hard

It’s so large

It’s big enough to miss

And we give out

We laugh about

All the misery

All the childhood memories

We hold

Onto the dream

We’re cold

Lost in the stream

It’s times like this

When it’s hidden

It’s so small

It’s small enough to miss

And we gave out

We cry all about

All the fallacy

All the teenage memories

We hold

Onto the dream

We’re cold

Lost in the stream

We hold onto the seams

As it’s tearing us apart

We sew up the rips and tears

Hoping for the best

Just like all the rest

Of them

We hold

Onto the dream

We’re cold

Lost in the stream

It’s times like this

When it’s so bad

It’s so crazy

It’s real enough to miss

And we get out

We lie about

All the chivalry

All the grownup fantasies

We hold

Onto the dream

We’re cold

Lost in the stream
