Infrared Roses Lyrics

[Eyedea]



Well I guess this is it, I guess its uh.. time or whatever



So I guess I'll start it like this







And I'll never again be as happy as I was when I was in the 7th grade



Before the guilt of having no goals ate my life away



Each day introduced me to somehting that I hadn't experienced yet



Traded A's for F's to gain the time to experiment with drugs and sex



I'll never forget me and jakes first roses trip together



or the times when we all walked aimlessly through summer weather



with nothing betterto do I rode to s.a.and tried to steal a pack of squares



man I miss being a kid with no cares



its the excitement of knowing everythingyou touch is new



I just wish I couldv'e stopped to cherish the moment while it lasted but



maybe thats the point, the second your smart enough to recognize freedom



your no longer free



you see heaven isn't some place that we go to when we die



It's that split second in life where you actually feel alive



and until the end of time, we chase the memory of that



hoping the future holds something better than the past



so why do I spend my time runnin' away?



when the truth is right here in the mirror inside my dying face



I can waste my energy tryin to reproduce something thats gone



but my childhood is dead, it's time to move on



so what do you call a person thats already past his peak?



Just keep stack in thasheepyou keep counting when you can't go to sleep



Two years out of high school goin on way too deep



tell me again why 7th grade was so brief?



Damn... the curiosity that killed shrodingers cat was the only thing that



kept it alive matter of fact



when life takes your life away how do you get it back?



Like that... like that...







REPEAT
