Caffeine

You're the lines on the tarmac
Rainy days and we take it to the carpet
Skinned knees on the gravel where we sat
Wide-eyed, coming of age
A year older every day
We grew up without looking back

Promises and tight grips
Now we're here and we're bound to slip
Is it wrong that part of me feels cheated?
Now I wished I understood
I traded easiness for adulthood
At the surface, we got what we wanted

We like the taste of caffeine
And now you are too busy for me
But this is everything we wanted
This is everything we wanted
And maybe you will make an effort
And maybe the memories are better
Cause this is everything we wanted
Is this everything we wanted?

(Too fast, too much, too soon)
I remember all the pledges
We were certain that the bond was the constant
On the verge of resolution we were sure
Parted ways, near and fast
I never thought it wouldn't last
Can we avoid being cut too short?

Promises and tight grips
Now we're here and we're bound to slip
Is it wrong that part of me feels cheated?
Now I wished I understood
I traded easiness for adulthood
At the surface, we got what we wanted

But now we like the taste of caffeine
And now you are too busy for me
But this is everything we wanted
This is everything we wanted
And maybe you will make an effort
And maybe the memories are better
Cause this is everything we wanted
Is this everything we wanted?

(Too fast, too much, too soon)
Oh it's bittersweet
Almost what I thought it'd be
But it's alright
My mind is occupied
We left each other out
We planned each other out
And now the knots untie
And all the talks run dry
(Too fast, too much, too soon)

But now we like the taste of caffeine
And now you are too busy for me
But this is everything we wanted
This is everything we wanted
And maybe you will make an effort
And maybe the memories are better
Cause this is everything we wanted
Is this everything we wanted?
(Too fast, too much, too soon)
