Lyrics
Walking through the city we grew up in, everything has changed again
Reflecting on changes in the city they grew up in, expressing a sense of transformation.
I remember fighting to believe in truth and how the good will win
Recalling a struggle to believe in truth and goodness, emphasizing the hope for a positive outcome.
When we were young, almost in love
Reminiscing about youth and a time when they were nearly in love.
Too scared to reach out for what was
Describing a past fear that prevented them from pursuing something meaningful.
Walking past the house that you grew up in, man, it looks so different now
Observing the changes in a friend's childhood home and the nostalgia associated with it.
Remembering the story of your first kiss, the feeling of my heart ripped out
Recollecting the painful memory of a first kiss and the emotional impact it had.
When we were young, almost in love
Reflecting on a past time when they were almost in love but were hesitant to pursue it.
Too scared to reach out for what was
Expressing the fear that hindered them from reaching out for what they desired.
Looking back, we tried to laugh
Looking back and attempting to find humor in past experiences.
City kids, the ghosts of past, woah
Referring to themselves as "City kids" and acknowledging the influence of past experiences.
When you were just a girl, you wrote a letter, it said that we were dearest friends
Recalling a moment when the narrator, as a girl, wrote a letter declaring a deep friendship.
I push myself to read a little further, it said we would be 'til we're dead
Continuing to read the letter, discovering a commitment to friendship lasting until death.
But we were young, almost in love
Reflecting on a time when they were young and almost in love but hesitated to pursue it.
Too scared to reach out for what was
Expressing the fear that held them back from reaching out for what they wanted.
Looking back, we tried to laugh
Looking back on past experiences and attempting to find humor despite challenges.
City kids, the ghosts of past, woah, woah
Reiterating the identity as "City kids" and acknowledging the influence of the past.
Woah
Emphasizing a collective emotional expression with the repeated "Woah."
