The graveyard of teenage dreams
is where Greg’s ambitions lie.
He wanted to play music
and just have a good time.
But society prostrated him
and forced him to fall in line.
He ponders what could have been;
But his time has passed him by.

The graveyard of teenage dreams
is where Kim’s ambitions lie
She wanted to be a star,
go on stage, and shine.
But everyone around her
told her otherwise.
She ponders what could have been;
But time has passed her by.

You only live once my friend.
Make the best out of it;
Or live in the dark world of regrets.
