Oh yeah We text as we eat As we listen to the freaks As we wait for the right of way We text as we talk We're running as we walk Cause we surf our little souls away We smoke as we choke As we sink another coke And we grin when it blows our mind We skate as we date As we slowly suffocate We're running, we're running, we're running out of time [Chorus] My life got cold It happened many years ago When summer slipped away So chill now whoa We've gotten many years to go So take it day by day And long ago I lost my soul To some forgotten dream But how was I supposed to know It wasn't what it seamed And even though the last to know Has left me on the floor I don't believe in Romeo's and heroes anymore We spin as we grin Cause we're happy to pretend Everything's gonna be OK We shake as we wake Never give until we take And we hate it when we have to pay We flirt while we work To forget about the hurt And the trash that we left behind We sink as we swim The ice is wearing thin We're running we're running we're running out of time [Chorus: x2]
