who we said we'd be

I jump when i hear sirens, still and our hometown's bright lights, they still blind me you carry the weight of our families over your shoulder while I stay where we were all born I made this choice although I'm not sure that it was right late nights make it look like everyone stayed in touch except me looks like they all grew up into who we said we'd be tried to dress in my old clothes they're bursting at the seams but i'm almost as small as i was when i turned fifteen one's a nurse down in the south now but her beliefs, i think they've changed one went back home to the beaches where it's beautiful but the sirens sound all day one of us, she'll be a teacher show her kids what we weren't taught picking up a phone and catching up cause i'll admit it these are all stories from my screen late nights make it look like everyone stayed in touch except me looks like they all grew up into who we said we'd be tried to dress in my old clothes they're bursting at the seams but i'm almost as small as i was when i turned fifteen and as time turns I fear that I'm not as different as it seems
