God do I miss the summers where I Would hang in the back of the pool club Chasing fireflies and dreaming up a life beyond the school bus That must have been what love was God, what happened to all of us Jaded and frustrated with the world around us Well that was 2022 Everybody else was stuck in the news Yeah it's hard to be in the moment When you feel like your walls are crumbling So take a toast to you That you're not giving up Well here we go again, another year of history repeating itself like a wolf in sheep clothing This time it's affecting our youth more than ever Well here I say to you my friend Fuck the narrative September came around again The leaves turned to green to brown and then The snow comes by and rain falls at the window On that day with the rain I built a fort and played my games It was over as quickly as it started Why am I blessed with this curse To work towards a future with high hopes I should be right here in the moment Before the curtains close That was 2022 Everybody else was stuck in the news Yeah it's hard to be in the moment When you feel like your walls are crumbling So take a toast to you That you're not giving up Long live the beach days that we spent All the lake nights that'll last till the end It isn't over, Is it starting again A future where we live in the moment Where we aren't consumed with The phones, the drama, the socials, false karma, it's all adding it up and making it's sick Is it over? 2022 Everybody else was stuck in the news Yeah it's hard to be in the moment When you feel like your walls are crumbing We're all just so consumed Is this our truth Are we meant to feel our youth When we were in the moment The future was only golden So take a toast to you That you're not giving up Call my name and I will wait I will for wait for you We can change with time Just trust this time Just let go Is this our truth Are we meant to feel our youth When we were in the moment The future was only golden So take a toast to you That you're not giving up
