lyrics

Aint we come a long way baby
I took some wrong turns but found my way again
Never looking back don't wanna find ourselves
Back at square one

What we gonna do when the world is crumbling around us
Nothing left to prove 'cause the earth was only ours to borrow

Foresight to hindsight
Do as you're told you know your mammas right
First light to your last night
Do as you're told and it'll be alright(tonight)

I feel your temperature rising mamma
But I think we over did it
Your flower's in early bloom
Time that we all looked back to figure
How to get ourselves back to square one

What we gonna do when the rising tide takes us all under
Nothing left to prove 'cause the earth is only ours to borrow
