Standing at the edge of it
I feel like I’m 17 again
Listening to my old songs
I thought could break me
Fingers clasped into my own
In the fetal position on my throne
Wild slipknot dreams cannot shake me
Up til 3, I read your note
You passed me in the halls and it stopped my throat
I’m 17 again, and this is crazy
Ripping at the seams,
Razor blades and screams
Poems in my notebooks and twisted dreams
Alcohol could stop time and time could stop me
But one, one day the clock
Picked up where it stopped
With Linkin Park and Green Day
American Idiot lives in my head
Thoughts that I thought were dead
Sink back into replay
Settled at the other side
Of this different stage in my life
I’m young at heart again
And this is crazy
Sinking at the brink of it
Just when I stop thinking of it
I listen to my old songs
I thought had shaped me
Fingers clasped on the steering wheel
Down 80 West, it’s getting real
These fucking playlists always seem to get me
I could be a teen, or 30, babe
These songs still help me find a way
Back to the core of me, if I could save me
Settled at the other side
Of this different stage in my life
I’m young at heart again
And this is crazy
Ripping at the seams,
Razor blades and screams
Poems in my notebooks and twisted dreams
Alcohol could stop time and time could stop me
But one, one day the clock
Picked up where it stopped
With Linkin Park and Green Day
American Idiot lives in my head
Thoughts that I thought were dead
Sink back into replay
Settled at the other side
Of this different stage in my life
I’m young at heart again
And this is crazy
