Walking though the city we grew up
And everything has changed again
I remember fighting to believe in truth
And how the good will win
When we were young, almost in love
Too scared to reach out for what was
Walking past the house that you grew up in
Man, it looks so different now
Remembering the story of your first kiss
The feeling of my heart ripped out
And we were young, almost in love
Too scared to reach out for what was
Looking back, we tried to laugh
City kids, the ghosts of past
When you were just a girl you wrote a letter
And said that we were dearest friends
I push myself to read a little further
It said we would be 'til we're dead
And we were young, almost in love
Too scared to reach out for what was
Looking back, we tried to laugh
City kids, the ghosts of past
