There's a plastic dwarf warlord
In the cereal box, he's licking
Off the sugar of the breakfast of chumps

Promise that forever we will
never get better at growing up
and learning to lie

There is no floor 13
there's not even a second story
You've got one to tell
and it's sad as hell

Promise that forever we will
never get better at growing up
and learning to lie

Prep school kid with wall street glib
Got a suit and a tie and a record with winners

Promise that forever we will
never get better at growing up
and learning to lie

I'm on my way back home now.

Good lives are gold like the oldest story
Will mine be told while I'm still young and h____
I know my role is to be all confusion
Set the clock back, we're not growing old.

This kid came over and I let him crash
But he went into my wallet and he grabbed my cash

Promise that forever we will
never get better at growing up
and learning to lie

Then a good girlfriend, she turned me in
I was lying with my eyes about adulterous sin.

Promise that forever we will
never get better at growing up
and learning to lie

I'm on my way back home now.

Good lives are gold like the oldest story
Will mine be told while I'm still young and h____
I know my role is to be all confusion
Set the clock back, we're not growing old

I never wanted to be like you or all the rest
I've always been the first one to settle for second best
I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be
I never wanted to be like you

Good lives are gold like the oldest story
Will mine be told while I'm still young and h____
I know my role is to be all confusion
Set the clock back, we're not growing old

Promise that forever we will
never get better at growing up
and learning to lie (repeat 4x)
Promise it.
