Mae Krell - who we said we'd be

I jump when i hear sirens, still
and our hometown's bright lights, they still blind me
you carry the weight of our families over your shoulder
while I stay where we were all born

I made this choice
although I'm not sure that it was right

late nights make it look like everyone
stayed in touch except me
looks like they all grew up
into who we said we'd be
tried to dress in my old clothes
they're bursting at the seams
but i'm almost as small
as i was when i turned fifteen

one's a nurse down in the south now
but her beliefs, i think they've changed
one went back home to the beaches
where it's beautiful but the sirens sound all day
one of us, she'll be a teacher
show her kids what we weren't taught
picking up a phone and catching up
cause i'll admit it
these are all stories from my screen

late nights make it look like everyone
stayed in touch except me
looks like they all grew up
into who we said we'd be
tried to dress in my old clothes
they're bursting at the seams
but i'm almost as small
as i was when i turned fifteen

and as time turns
I fear that I'm not as different
as it seems
