Runaway, runaway Don't look back Memories of 17 in the culdesac Thought it'd get better, but it never did In a rush to grow up, you miss some things Fall in love then fuck it up, it's the same routine Thought it'd be easy, but it never is Steppin' over cracks in the pavement Tell me if I'm someone worth savin' Or am I just another thing to forget? There goes the neighborhood gone up in smoke And we didn't know back then that the sidewalk ends And life's just a bad joke Young and misunderstood You're not alone Why did we run away from the good old days? I'd go back if I could Don't look now but there goes the neighborhood Broken homes and promises, I'm breaking down Never was quite the same since dad moved out Nobody tells you how it'll really feel Try anything to ease the pain of being young Overwhelmed, misunderstood by everyone Nobody tells you the things you need to hear Steppin' over cracks in the pavement Tell me if I'm someone worth savin' Or am I just another thing to forget? There goes the neighborhood gone up in smoke And we didn't know back then that the sidewalk ends And life's just a bad joke Young and misunderstood You're not alone Why did we run away from the good old days? I'd go back if I could Don't look now but there goes the neighborhood There goes There goes the neighborhood There goes There goes the neighborhood There goes There goes the neighborhood There goes the neighborhood gone up in smoke And we didn't know back then that the sidewalk ends And life's just a bad joke Young and misunderstood You're not alone Why did we run away from the good old days? I'd go back if I could Don't look now but there goes the neighborhood
