We're all Dkicking, we're all screaming
We're all Gsleeping at the wheeAl
We're all DCalifornia dreaming,
Playing Ghouse, and paying Abills
DWe're all going through the motions,
Just Gfollowing the scAript
DIf we don't stop and smell the ocean boys,
We Gmight just miss our Aship
Every Bmlast heart Gbreaks when the summer Asnapshot fades
Every teenage Bmkiss ends Gway too sooAn
[Chorus]
DIt don't matter how long we're here
GIt's never gonna be Along enough
DIt ain't about the amount of years

We're all Bmwaiting for our Amoment in the suGn
Everybody dies youngD  
Oh yeaGh, everybody dies DyoungG  
[Verse 2]
From the Dmoment that we're born
Yeah, we start Grunning out of saAnd

While we're Bmhere we oughta Ahave a little fuGn
'Cause everybody dies youngD  
Oh yeaGh, everybody dies DyoungG
