[Verse 1]
Tonight I found a shadow of me
Hiding in a photograph I left on my high school tees
They always said, "Nobody makes it out of this town, you'll see"
But who I am, ain't a picture of who I could be
[Chorus]
Yeah, we're just kids, man, and we're all fucked up
All these old guns, say that we dream too much
But, though you wasted all your love, oh
You can't talk, talk for the rest of us
[Verse 2]
Well I've had this nightmare, that's stuck on repeat
I'm locked inside a white picket fence, and my lips can't speak
They hang a string to either hand and say, "It's best you don't leave"
Like I'd just sit back and watch you plan a whole life for me
[Chorus]
Yeah, we're just kids, man, and we're all fucked up
All these old guns, say that we dream too much
But, though you wasted all your love, oh
You can't talk, talk for the rest of us
[Post-Chorus]
The rest of us
The rest of us
But, though you wasted all your love, oh
You can't talk, talk for the rest of us (Hey)
[Bridge]
Tossing and I'm turning in these sheets
Playing shows under bedroom lights
Watching people hoping that the penny might drop, 'fore it gets too late
So many parts of me that you won't ever know were there
'Cause all that you do is push me away
[Chorus]
Yeah, we're just kids, man, and it's so messed up
You think we're all dumb, broke, or we drink too much
But, though you wasted all your love, oh
You can't talk, talk for the rest of us
[Post-Chorus]
The rest of us (Hey)
The rest of us (Oh, we dream, yeah, we dream)
But, though you wasted all your love, oh
You can't talk, talk for the rest of us

A May 2020 Variance article quotes Rose saying:
A friend of mine wanted to be a musician but his family was not supportive. This took a toll on him and he ended up never pursuing his dream. You hear about stuff like this happening all the time and I think it’s incredibly sad that there are so many...
