The days burn away like sparklers on the 4th of July
And I flat out refuse to grow up and be used like you

My dreams pass me by and the time with a sigh it keeps burning, burning away
My heart beat speeds up and gets quicker and stronger and faster and faster and faster until

Everything stops

Everything stops now
Can't we go back now?
At least slow down now?
Just slow down a bit

Say so long
Plant your lips in the past, this bliss simply can't last
The temperatures rising and summer is calling so don't be surprised when it's time

To step up, and speak up
And they'll say sit down, and shut up
And then we'll step out, and scream out

Breathe like you're twelve leagues under water
Savor each breath, treat it like a ghost
Keep it up darling 'cause today's a day worth livin'
Don't blow it off with a shrug; just like the undertow's tug we're sinkin' we're sinkin'
