[Verse 1]
I walk the dead-end street
Where we learned to misbehave
The corner store’s a condo now
But I still hear your name
I miss the neon lights
Reflecting on your face
A flicker of the past
That feels erased

[Chorus 1]
They tore the old town down
We built it all on quicksand
And when I come around
It feels like Disneyland
It's like the old man said
Everything has changed
Everything is gone

[Verse 2]
I’m back at our high school
Like a ghost roaming the halls
My name tag a reminder
In case you might recall
I look for signs of you
But still, you never came
I wonder where you are
Or changed your name

[Chorus 2]
They tore the old town down
We built it all on quicksand
And when I come around
It feels like Disneyland
It's like the old man said
Everything has changed

[Bridge]
I keep driving past the memories
Fading echoes down the road
Every turn reminds me
Of the things we used to know
And although the map is different
And the faces all moved on
I still hold the quiet version
Of the place where I belong

[Chorus 3]

We built it all on quicksand
And when I come around
It feels like Disneyland
It's like the old man said
Everything has changed
Everything is gone
