Far from OK O'CLOCK by OK O'Clock

When we were kids, we would lie out on the rusted trampoline
The moonlight kissed our faces and in our eyes we would not change a thing
And we had dreams, before growing up became a sobering reality
Innocence slowly dying and with it all we thought that we would be

Our futures were in the stars, of this we were certain
We were meant to go far, we were meant for more than
The everyday existence, the way they say it limits us

They told us we could do anything, if we tried our best, and gave 100 percent
But what do you do when its hard to even give 50, and you wish you were
Miserably drunk so that you could forget
For at least a little while, that you're all alone and broke
And you've got to make rent
And as you stumble back home, you can't help but feel even more depressed

I saw you the other day, when you asked me for change by the door of the bar
I saw myself in your face, and gave you a twenty, turned around and walked back home in the dark
And for old times sake, I took a look through the old Polaroids at the hope that marked
Our faces, the old back yard and all the familiar places
And it gave me a spark, it made me want to go far
