You wish you knew

Fake id's and belly shirts and low cut jeans
You make it, shake it, take it, break it
Everyone's gonna see you
It's all you ever knew

Rushing so fast to grow up
But who are you trying to please
Deception, misconceptions and your dives and lies
You'll do what it takes
It's all you ever knew

You love the look, you love the chase, you love the life
So take it, have it, down it, and wish it
Now you wish you knew

You're dying to live
Yet you're living to die
You'll live as you'll never die
And die like you've never lived
Rushing to grow up, desire to be young, you'd take it all back
But you can't take back what you never had to begin
You only can wish you can go back again
Start all over and slow it down, take your time and remember

Act like it doesn't phase you and you don't care
Smile and lie and your inside cries and always wondering why
Now you can't go back because you've missed out
Now you wish you knew

You're dying to live
Yet you're living to die
You'll live as you'll never die
And die like you've never lived
Rushing to grow up, desire to be young, you'd take it all back
But you can't take back what you've never had to begin
You only can wish you can go back again
Start all over and slow it down, take your time and remember

And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
And you wish you knew
