[Verse 1]
I always looked up to the ones who walked away
Choosing themselves over preset ways
Of looking at a future that had no room
For the questions they lived for
Always knew I never could have walked away myself
My self worth was beyond any help
I didn't care to test it against the rejection I'd seen before

[Pre-Chorus]
But those I loved so much
They underwent this change
They're working forty hours
They got caught in the game

[Chorus]
Like junkies running dry
The vulnerability
Like junkies running dry
They're always there on time
Like junkies running dry
They can't be satisfied
Like junkies running dry

[Verse 2]
This wonderful generosity
A third of our lives to do what we please
Doesn't look that great to me
It doesn't even really look fair
They call it youthful idealism
And even I would have to agree with them
Some of us grow up, and it's still there
[Pre-Chorus]
But those I loved so much
They underwent this change
They're working forty hours
They got caught in the game

[Chorus]
Like junkies running dry
The vulnerability
Like junkies running dry
They're always there on time
Like junkies running dry
We can't be satisfied
Like junkies running dry

[Guitar solo]

[Bridge]
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go
I grow up too slow, I don't wanna go

[Pre-Chorus]
The ones I loved so much
They underwent this change
They're working forty hours
They got caught in the game
But now I'm working just like everyone else
But I'll get out, I'll get out of here
[Chorus]
Junkies running dry
The vulnerability
Like junkies running dry
They're always there on time
Like junkies running dry
We can't be satisfied
Like junkies running dry
