Boy Rex X Marks The Pact
Look back, follow the steps
Up to where they're flying
Down here it's nothing but skin
And the waves are crashing
The waves are crashing
I blink behind shaded eyes
And try to find a way to say
I'm still the same
I've just learned to adapt
And I call it "age"
Look back, follow the years
To where it all started
We flew then, in anger and youth
And we loved each other
And believed in truth
We held our heads high
In a reckless grab to understand
Why everyone was different
Why everyone changed
X marks the pact
We swore we'd stay the same
The same, the same no matter
If we stayed together
But then you find, then you find out
You can't stay sixteen forever
Then you find, then you find out
You can't stay sixteen forever
But you try, try, try, try
To remember how to fly
And all I've done the last few months
Is try and try and try and try
To hold on to the moment
The waves are crashing
The waves are crashing
I'm warm on a beach in San Diego
Trying to accept that the moments go
They slip away, away, away
The waves are crashing
The waves are crashing
