2012 by Emily Alexander Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Golden halo 'round your head I thought
Disconnected inside our mirage
Don't hold your breath, don't look for this again
'Cause once it's dead and done, I promise it's the end
So if I bite your apple from the holy tree
Does that mean that you'll always stay with me?
'Cause now I'm thinking
Maybe I could keep a little piece of when I was just seventeen
Where I sleep in castles and I win the battles
And friendship's forever and you're coming back
From your wedding rings, and your fenced in dreams
It's nevеr who I thought we'd be
[Chorus]
'Cause wе were the wild, stars in our eyes
And we ran the night but now the sun's rising
2012's nothing but the death of us and it won't ever be as it was
We're new-age antiquated, overrated, posters faded
But I still put my faith in teenage dreams
[Verse 2]
Said you loved me or so I thought
The echoes wrapped around the city block
In headlines I hug you, the missed calls pile up
'Til my muscles lose your number's memory
So if I dream in decades long gone now, does it mean I can go back somehow?
'Cause lately I've been trying to rewind things
And relive yesterday as the same kings and queens
Where you were the sun and I lived to let you shine
Where our friends were our friends and they weren't only mine
And the pictures don't hurt and I don't wish I was living secondhand
[Chorus]
'Cause we were the wild, stars in our eyes
And we ran the night but now the sun's rising
2012's nothing but the death of us and it won't ever be as it was
We're new-age antiquated, overrated, posters faded
But I still put my faith in teenage dreams
[Outro]
You still make me feel like, you still make me wish I was back in a dream
When we ruled everything
Golden halo 'round your head I thought
Disconnected inside our mirage
Don't hold your breath, don't look for this again
'Cause once it's dead and done, I promise it's the end
So if I bite your apple from the holy tree
Does that mean that you'll always stay with me?
'Cause now I'm thinking
Maybe I could keep a little piece of when I was just seventeen
Where I sleep in castles and I win the battles
And friendship's forever and you're coming back
From your wedding rings, and your fenced in dreams
It's nevеr who I thought we'd be
[Chorus]
'Cause wе were the wild, stars in our eyes
And we ran the night but now the sun's rising
2012's nothing but the death of us and it won't ever be as it was
We're new-age antiquated, overrated, posters faded
But I still put my faith in teenage dreams
[Verse 2]
Said you loved me or so I thought
The echoes wrapped around the city block
In headlines I hug you, the missed calls pile up
'Til my muscles lose your number's memory
So if I dream in decades long gone now, does it mean I can go back somehow?
'Cause lately I've been trying to rewind things
And relive yesterday as the same kings and queens
Where you were the sun and I lived to let you shine
Where our friends were our friends and they weren't only mine
And the pictures don't hurt and I don't wish I was living secondhand
[Chorus]
'Cause we were the wild, stars in our eyes
And we ran the night but now the sun's rising
2012's nothing but the death of us and it won't ever be as it was

But I still put my faith in teenage dreams
[Outro]
You still make me feel like, you still make me wish I was back in a dream
When we ruled everything
