GONE ASTRAY

I can see the summer heat radiating off of the street

Feel the hot concrete under the soles of my feet

Stolen beer, no fear, nothing better to do

Close my eyes into yesterday and it’s all through

Suburban menace, hopping fences, and we’re running wild

With an old soul but the heart of a child

I don’t yearn for those days or try to resist the change

Not trying to stay the same, only just maintain

Stolen beer, no fear, nothing better to do

Close my eyes into yesterday and it’s all through

No need to reminisce, it’s not the past I miss

Only those who live for yesterday

The ones that have gone astray

We have to learn a lesson from our indiscretions

Find out who we should be while we’re still naive

Before we’re set in our ways, before we’re unwilling to change

We have to learn to never, ever act our age
