These streets feel so empty, it’s just not the same
All my friends at university whilst here I remain
Stuck in a dead end job where I feel worthless
They’re all off finding their purpose
Time just passed me by and I’ve got no one but myself to blame
Take me back to when I was sixteen
Rewind to the happiest that I’ve ever been
When everyone was still around and life had direction
Nowadays I can’t even bare the sight of my reflection
I pass by the school that we went to as kids
And everything’s the same as it was before, so why isn’t this?
I always thought they’d be around forever
I’m tired of being told that things will get better
Like a mum with empty nest, I’m lost without the people I miss
Take me back to when I was sixteen
Rewind to the happiest that I’ve ever been
When everyone was still around and life had direction
Nowadays I can’t even bare the sight of my reflection
I’ve lost everybody that I’ve ever known
I’m a failed carbon copy my friends have outgrown
It’s hard to keep up when you’re so far behind
Don’t think I’ve ever felt quite as ostracised
Take me back to when I was sixteen
Rewind to the happiest that I’ve ever been
When everyone was still around and life had direction
Nowadays I can’t even bare the sight of my reflection
