Teenage memories
(one, two, go!)
Standing by the yellow locker line Checking on my watch to pass
the time
You walk past with that easy grace Laughing in a crowded,
noisy space
I keep my sneakers glued down to the floor Watching as you
disappear once more
And every hallway feels like miles to run Counting down the seconds
one by one
Will you ever even look my way?
'Cause I'm just an outsider on the edge Writing out my feelings
on a ledge You're running free under the midday sun
I'm just a quiet kid on the run
Yeah, I'm calling out your name into the breeze (into the breeze!)
Living out these teenage memories
Empty parking lot on Friday night
Skating home beneath a streetlamp white
Saw your story by the diner booth Wish I had the nerve
to speak the truth
Playing three chords in my room again Wondering if we could be
more than friends
And every hallway feels like miles to run
Counting down the seconds one by one
Will you ever even look my way?
'Cause I'm just an outsider on the edge Writing out my feelings
on a ledge You're running free under the midday sun
I'm just a quiet kid on the run
Yeah, I'm calling out your name into the breeze (into the breeze!)
Living out these teenage memories
Maybe one day we will jump this fence
Leave the gossip and make
some
sense Would you turn around if I said your name?
Or am I just a stranger in the frame?
(tell me now!)
'Cause I'm just an outsider on the edge Writing out my feelings
on a ledge! You're running free under the midday sun
I'm just a quiet kid on the run
Yeah, I'm calling out your name into the breeze (into the breeze!)
Living out these teenage memories
(these teenage memories!)
Yeah, living out these teenage memories (hey!)
