I'm So Young

I need somewhere to run away to
Your arms were never on option, so I've realized
I'm trying so hard to move on from this
It seems so immature to write like this
I could always call these streets home
But I realized I could call no one home

I'm only young
And this heart beats the wrong way
I'm letting the street lights downcast your eyes
Because I can't look at you straight
Good times will always be remembered
But I'll always love these streets more
Because they were home when no one was

My mother left me when I was young
Not by choice, because oh, she did love me
I feel like she could be my safe haven
And that only proves there's no room for safe

I'm only young
And this heart beats the wrong way
I'm letting the street lights downcast your eyes
Because I can't look at you straight
Good times will always be remembered
But I'll always love these streets more
Because they were home when no one was

I feel like I could have been successful
I feel like I could have made it to be something other than this
But my strength is down
And these streets are being paved over again.
