Infrared Roses Lyrics - Singles - Eyedea

[Eyedea] 

Well I guess this is it, I guess its uh.. time or whatever 

So I guess I'll start it like this 

And I'll never again be as happy as I was when I was in the 7th grade 

Before the guilt of having no goals ate my life away 

Each day introduced me to somehting that I hadn't experienced yet 

Traded A's for F's to gain the time to experiment with drugs and sex 

I'll never forget me and jakes first roses trip together 

or the times when we all walked aimlessly through summer weather 

with nothing better to do I rode to s.a.and tried to steal a pack of squares 

man I miss being a kid with no cares 

its the excitement of knowing everything you touch is new 

I just wish I couldv'e stopped to cherish the moment while it lasted but 

maybe thats the point, the second your smart enough to recognize freedom 

your no longer free 

you see heaven isn't some place that we go to when we die 

It's that split second in life where you actually feel alive 

and until the end of time, we chase the memory of that 

hoping the future holds something better than the past 

so why do I spend my time runnin' away? 

when the truth is right here in the mirror inside my dying face 

I can waste my energy tryin to reproduce something thats gone 

but my childhood is dead, it's time to move on 

so what do you call a person thats already past his peak? 

Just keep stack in tha sheep you keep counting when you can't go to sleep 

Two years out of high school goin on way too deep 

tell me again why 7th grade was so brief? 

Damn... the curiosity that killed shrodingers cat was the only thing that 

kept it alive matter of fact 

when life takes your life away how do you get it back? 

Like that... like that... 

REPEAT
