Junkies Running Dry lyrics
by Operation Ivy



I always looked up to the ones who walked awayChoosing themselves over preset waysOf looking at a future that had no room for the questions they lived forAlways knew I never could have walked away myselfMy self worth was beyond any helpAnd I didn't care to test it against the rejection I had seen beforeBut those I loved so much, they got caught in the game.Like junkies running dry, the vulnerability,They're always there on timeWe're never satisfied like junkies running dry.This wonderful generosityA third of our lives to do what we pleaseDoesn't look that great to me, in fact it doesn't even look fair.They call it youthful idealismAnd even I would have to agree with themExcept some of us grow up and it's still there.(Chorus)I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go...But now I'm workin' just like everyone else,But I'll get outta here
