We are the teens who jump to conclusions who smash beer in the street, walk fast and try to soothe ourselves with ***** water We are the teens who cry for a song feeling alone but surrounded by people Who replace hurt with *** and hide our pain by waiting until maybe finally something good happens We are the teens who go home every day and miss everyone who made our life worth living We are the loud *** teens who smoke and drink and get 100s on tests and love themselves and are happy about it We are the teens who get gelato and are homies with our host families and jump in with our clothes on We are the teens who look at the waves and the height and think the wind blowing is beautiful We are the teens who overuse the word love because we lack it in our lives We are the teens who have to give it to each other because maybe not everyone loves us the way we want them to Maybe that’s why we don’t love the people who want us to

The Teens
We are the teens who jump to conclusions who smash beer in the street, walk fast and try to soothe ourselves with ***** water We are the teens who cry for a song feeling alone but surrounded by people Who replace hurt with *** and hide our pain by waiting until maybe finally something good happens We are the teens who go home every day and miss everyone who made our life worth living We are the loud *** teens who smoke and drink and get 100s on tests and love themselves and are happy about it We are the teens who get gelato and are homies with our host families and jump in with our clothes on We are the teens who look at the waves and the height and think the wind blowing is beautiful We are the teens who overuse the word love because we lack it in our lives We are the teens who have to give it to each other because maybe not everyone loves us the way we want them to Maybe that’s why we don’t love the people who want us to
