​youth

[Verse 1]
I went down to the lake again
Where we'd laugh, and we'd cry
And we'd swear we'll never die
But the city lights have changed
And memories fade
I guess I was wrong, 'cause it all goes away

[Chorus]
Are things really better now
'Cause you sure seem to think so
Living step by step
And moving oh so slow
One breath at a time
That's all there is to do
I'm afraid my fears
Have all come true

[Verse 2]
I hope you still remember me
The way that I was
The way we'd talk the night away
Staying up just because
Time's a funny thing
'Cause so much falls apart
Some of us grow up
And some stay at the start

[Chorus]
Are things really better now
'Cause you sure seem to think so
Living step by step
And moving oh so slow
One breath at a time
That's all there is to do
Now I'm afraid my fears
Have all come true
