[Verse 1]
My father told me this is how it would be,
But you never see it coming when you're seventeen.
Time marches on with the fading faces,
The only thing that stays the same is,
Everything changes!
[Pre-Chorus]
We spent those days full of hope and expectation,
And most of the time we were bound to miss (bound to miss).
But I had your back and we held tight to our aspirations,
It never crossed my mind that it would come to this.
Now it's come to this!
[Chorus]
I've been chasing ghosts,
Losing my mind,
Everyone's moving on,
I must be falling behind!
But I'm still alive, still alive,
Dead set on staying young and free.
Cause I'm still alive, still alive,
Am I killing time or is it killing me?
[Verse 2]
I remember the night,
The bitter taste of goodbye.
You felt it too, I could see it in your eyes.
We stood the test of time,
But could we stand the test of change.
I knew in that moment,
We'd never be the same!
[Pre-Chorus]
Walk away, everything changes,
Time marches on with the fading faces,
The only thing that stays the same is
Everything changes!
Now it's come to this.
[Chorus]
I've been chasing ghosts,
Losing my mind,
Everyone's moving on,
I must be falling behind!
But I'm still alive, still alive,
Dead set on staying young and free.
Cause I'm still alive, still alive,
Am I killing time or is it killing me?
[Hook]
Thick or thin,
My brother, my friend,
I will stand up for you in the end.
[Outro]
My father told me this is how it would be,
But you never see it coming when you're seventeen.
Thick or thin,
My brother, my friend,
I will stand up for you in the end!
