Walking through the city we grew up in

Everything is changed again

I remember fighting to believe in

Truth and how the Good will win

When we were young, almost in love

Too scared to reach out for what was



Walking past the house that you grew up in

Man, it looks so different now

Remembering the story of your first kiss

The feeling of my heart ripped out

When we were young, almost in love

Too scared to reach out for what was

Looking back, we try to laugh

City kids, the ghosts of past



When you were just a girl you wrote a letter

It said that we were dearest friends

I push myself to read a little further

It said we would be til we're dead

But we were young, almost in love

Too scared to reach out for what was

Looking back, we try to laugh

City kids, the ghosts of past



City kids, the ghosts of past

Looking back, we try to laugh

City kids, the ghosts of past
