Teenage Wonderland - Kids in Glass Houses

When we were young

We made the mistakes that make us what we are today

When we get old

We long for the lessons that were meant for yesterday

When we were ghosts

We showed you the light and dark until all that’s left is grey

Cause when we are gone

We hope for the knowledge that you wanted us to stay

In your oils

In your bones

In your dreams, you build a home

In your heart

In your hands

In the place you die

Your teenage wonderland

When we were young

We wore out years, orbiting girls like brave new worlds

When we get old

We hope just enough to hold something that we can call our own

In your heart

In your hands

In the place you die

Your teenage wonderland

When we get home

We hope just enough to hold something we can call our own

I’m a boy

Playing a man

Trying to understand

This teenage wonderland
