We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
That got out somehow without lookin' back
It's ova, it's ova
We were the ones that grew up too fast
On the front porch steps when we still had friends
It's ova, it's ova
We were the kids who were laughin' last
With big ideas & failed attempts
It's ova, it's ova
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
[Chorus]
It's in the way, we can't explain
Why we were the ones who got away
It's in the way these memories will fade
So we always keep them locked away
Lock them away
[Verse 2]
We were the kids who would scrape insane
And we'd wait around for some betta days
It's ova, it's ova
We were the kids that looked one-by-one
We said we would when we were young
It's ova, it's ova
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
[Chorus X2]
It's in the way, we can't explain
Why we were the ones who got away
It's in the way these memories will fade
So we always keep them locked away
It's in the way we slowly replace
The pieces we left in yesterday
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
Repeat it now, repeat it with me
[Outro]
It's in the way these memories will fade
So we always keep them locked away
We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs
That got out somehow without lookin' back
It's ova
[Verse 1] We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs That got out somehow without lookin' back It's ova, it's ova We were the ones that grew up too fast On the front porch steps when we still had friends It's ova, it's ova We were the kids who were laughin' last With big ideas & failed attempts It's ova, it's ova Repeat it now, repeat it with me [Chorus] It's in the way, we can't explain Why we were the ones who got away It's in the way these memories will fade So we always keep them locked away Lock them away [Verse 2] We were the kids who would scrape insane And we'd wait around for some betta days It's ova, it's ova We were the kids that looked one-by-one We said we would when we were young It's ova, it's ova Repeat it now, repeat it with me [Chorus X2] It's in the way, we can't explain Why we were the ones who got away It's in the way these memories will fade So we always keep them locked away It's in the way we slowly replace The pieces we left in yesterday Repeat it now, repeat it with me Repeat it now, repeat it with me [Outro] It's in the way these memories will fade So we always keep them locked away We were the kids from the cul-de-sacs That got out somehow without lookin' back It's ova Explain Request ×
