Boys And Girls lyrics - Good Riddance song

i remember when you disconnected
with such high hopes but still rejected
i know i've been there

you thought something outside would always fix you
you should know by now it'll always trick you
i know how it feels

it was all just boys and girls
making the most of a fucked up world
left with nothing left insane
live fast, die young, feel no pain
why can't you open those eyes
wasted living your daydream dies
you've disconnected from all that you know
why?

mom and dad let you out at night
if you're back by one it'll be all right
and you're safe now
safe from the world

but those nights won't stay the same
there's no more time for fun and games
and your habits are all wearing you down
