Reminiscent (In the Guise)

Tonight, let's see just how fast time flies
I'm leaving this shitty city tomorrow
Screw California, I'll go to New York,
Start a band and barely make it.
Just because we're free.

But for now I'm all yours
And while we think about what it takes,
To grow up and gain our taste,
Of the world, whoa, of the world.
Let's pretend we don't care.

Quiet lies, in the guise of fairy tales.
Do you want to pretend this never happened?
I'll try my best to hide it, and not do very well.
Tossing and turning with you next to me.
We need to talk but we're too scared to speak,
Where is this going?
Why are you giving up on me?

Tonight, I think we lost ourselves.
And while we think about what it takes,
To grow up and gain our taste,
Of the world, whoa, of the world.
Let's pretend we don't care.

Write the lyrics of your heartbreak,
Leave them on the table before you leave.
Slip out of the room while I'm still asleep,
Thin fingers that made magic on quitar,
Before I left you, and a sad song later,
You left me.

Quiet lies, in the guise of fairy tales.
Do you want to pretend this never happened?
I'll try my best to hide it, and not do very well.
Tossing and turning without you next to me.
We needed to talk, but it never happened,
Where is this going?
Why did you give up on me?

I'm done with asking questions,
Four long years after high school sweethearts,
First album dedicated to you,
Second to the fans.
It's getting rather late,
I want to fall asleep,
But my cell phone is ringing.
The caller ID says your name.

Tonight, let's see just how fast time flies
I'm leaving this shitty city tomorrow
Screw New York, I'll come back to California,
With a band that made a living,
And we'll sing our songs for you,
Just because we're free.
