Jordan Brown - Charade Lyrics

Well my ears are ringing like the bell that used to chime
Telling us recess is over and we no longer have time
To keep making all the memories in the years that people say
Are the best years of our lives
I swear those people don't know a thing

Because we're now too far apart to be friends
And I knew that this would only end

We tried hard to keep out of trouble tried hard to not get caught
And we made a shitty band and tried to be things that we're not
And I told you we were brothers and we'd never drift away
And it's funny now to think those things
It's been way longer than days

Since we lost track and we're not friends
Words never exchanged, just an end

To another stolen cigarette and another stolen beer
And I didn't know living past this meant regretting it next year
And we'd spill out all our problems as if they were something new
Flip the page and character change for both me and you

We were too far apart to be friends
But we played our parts out to the end

And I can't say I'm not happy no I can't say that I'm sad
Because the true best years of my life are the last few that I've had
Maybe someday we'll see each other and catch up on these things
Maybe I'm the only one who's grown out of that phase

When we were too dumb to not be friends
And we knew that this would never end

But, you were stuck on staying here
That I grew and left you in those years
