take that grin off your mouth
i got a couple of words
a heart full of doubt
but i'm man enough
to tell you when i'm through
i've been under the highway
jumped back and forth
between the sheets and i.o.u.s
and i'm paying for it
in pennies and melodies
they call this a city
i call it a maze
full of fresh geeks
in worn out shirts
and it keeps going
till you forget your age
we're all imaginary punks
with big old dreams
and it's a shame
our heads haven't exploded yet
do you remember the time
we talked about our dreams
laughing at the useless things
and you told me to tell you
when i would give up
do you remember the time
we talked about our dreams
laughing at the useless things
and you told me to tell you
when we're older, love
now we're older, love
we're all imaginary punks
with big old dreams
and it's a shame
our heads haven't exploded yet
don't you want to know
when i'll give up
