Ceremonies

[Verse 1]
So, I'm getting to know me, really slowly
Soon, who I am right now will be the old me
I'll ask me from the future how we doing
Do, you wish you were me?
Should I wish I was you?

Now that I envy all of my past selves who had their health
'Cause now I'm constantly scared and needing repairs
And no matter what I achieve I get thoughts of leaving

There trapped down in my youth
I wish I was you
With our

[Chorus]

Age old ceremonies that we made up
Now such dear memories from when we stayed up
Late, watchеd the sun from the street
As we madе up all those lives that we surely would lead
But now our lives lead us

[Verse 2]

So I'll turn life into a habit, but I'll have this
Weight that people erase or think that I'm faking
Freedom is in the short-term as I have learned
There's no real sense of completion
Only seasons

Spring comes tells me of summer and then under its breath, says
'Autumn's a promise to prolong this'
Stay as whoever I will be, that's the real me

There trapped down in my youth
I wish I was you

[Bridge]
Still the hardest words that anyone has said
I sometimes wish I just wouldn't have asked
The final cut in a long series of stabs
'Look we're sorry kid, but you'll never get your old life back'

[Pre-Chorus]
'You will never get your old life back'
'You will never get your old life back'

[Chorus]
Or your age old ceremonies that we made up
Now such dear memories from when we stayed up
Late, watched the sun from the street
As we made up all those lives that we surely would lead

With our age-old ceremonies that we made up
Now such dear memories from when we stayed up
Late, watched the sun from the street
As we made up all those lives that we surely would lead

[Outro]
But now our lives lead us
But now our lives lead us
But now our lives lead us
