Always teaching me how to be

When your folks are not here to see

You've found another place to go

I copy everything practical

And for the last time I am sure

[Verse 2]

It's your only way to live

Three doors down and one room in

I lose my mind amongst your things

But I can't swim

It's the same it's just like then

When I was nine and you were ten

Wishing we could still be friends

Where we move is where we end

[Pre-Chorus]
