Amazing Fantasy

When the weeks start
 When the world stops turning
 We were young, dumb, and earnest
 And we burned like a furnace
 Now we can't stop
 No, we won't stop learning
 And if words couldn't hurt us
 They could bring out the worst in us
 I tried so hard
 Couldn't bear the weight of my heart
 So I stepped in the center
 Maybe this time forever
 New hopes and old crimes
 Don't really mean shit this time
 They mean shit this time
 And the worst part?
 When the words stop working
 And we're looking for purchase
 On a vertical surface
 And we can't stop
 No, we won't stop searching
 When our purpose deserts us
 We'll probably deserve it
 I tried so hard
 Couldn't bear the weight of my heart
 So I stepped in the center
 Maybe this time forever
 New hopes and old crimes
 Don't really mean shit this time
 They mean shit this time
 I tried so hard
 Couldn't bear the weight of my heart
 New hopes, old crimes
 Don't really mean shit this time
