[Verse 1]
He bought the same brand of cigarettes you used to smoke
And told the same 'edgy' unfunny joke
He’s got that look in his eyes like he’s bored of the world
While he’s watching the smoke as it starts to get curled
He’s sixteen going on seventeen
The messiest thing that I’ve ever seen
With a "who gives a damn" way of staying alive
[Chorus]
He’s the newest version of the same old ghost
The one who likes the thrill of the danger the most
Yeah, he’s got the fake ID and the keys to the car
But I already know exactly who we are
He says "come on, let’s go, it’ll be just fine,"
While he’s blurring the edge of every single line
Yeah, he’s the newest boy with the oldest soul
Trying to fill up a heart that’s just a black hole
[Bridge]
Why do I find ‘em? Why do I stay?
Why do I like the way they throw it all away?
He’s sixteen with a major problem in his chest
And I’m just the latest victim of his "living for the quest."
I say I’m done, but I’m back on the floor
Opening up the same damn door
[Outro]
The newest boy
The newest scar
I know exactly...
Where we are
