The Menzingers - Farewell Youth lyrics

[The Menzingers - Farewell Youth lyrics]

PA turnpike, northbound on a dark night
Driving into Scranton for
A difficult occasion
When you first got your license
We were nowhere to be found
I was just a little kid back then
But you let me hang around
But we're older now

Farewell youth
I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
I was always hangin' out with the older kids
Always in a rush
But I was never sure from what
I was always hangin' out with the older kids


The grief starts when bumpin'
Into friends turned acquaintances
We stumble around the small talk
We break the silence with Jameson


But once, we were inseparable
We were the only punks in town
We spent every weekend raisin' hell in
The basement of your parents house
But we're older now

Farewell youth
I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
I was always hangin' out with the older kids
Always in a rush
But I was never sure from what
I was always hangin' out with the older kids

In someone's apartment, gettin' fucked up
To all our favorite records
Drinkin' the cheap stuff
We couldn't get enough of growing up
I saw my childhood flash before me in
The depth of your closed eyes
At your Irish wake
We celebrate by trying not to cry

Farewell youth
I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
I was always hangin' out with the older kids
Always in a rush
But I was never sure from what
I was always hangin' out with the older kids

Farewell youth farewell youth
Farewell youth
I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
Farewell youth farewell youth
Farewell youth
I'm afraid I hardly got to know you
'Cause, I was always hangin' out
With the older kids
