I remember how I couldn't wait to get out of my hometown
Now I'm looking for every excuse to go back on the weekend
I can still see the front-porch balcony every time I leave
Grandpa waving back at me
Wish I could've told myself back then

It won't always be like this
It won't always be like this
I know nothing lasts forever
But sometimes I still forget
It won't always be like this

I remember hearing the door slam
Twenty-two, didn't have a clue who I was
Who I could trust, and who were my real friends
I had big wings but didn't have a sky
Just a front-row view of everybody flying high
Waiting for my time, wish I could've told myself back then

It won't always be like this
It won't always be like this
No, the heart won't ache forever
No matter how hard it gets
It won't always be like this, no

Looking at you looking back at me
All I wanna do is make another memory
And love you like it's the end

'Cause it won't always be like this
It won't always be like this

No, it won't always be like this
I know it won't always be like this
I wish love would last forever
So I could live it all again
It won't always be like this
It won't always be like this
