All the kids can't take the heat
They've stopped their dancing in the streets
They've stopped putting buttons on their bags
They've stopped drinking booze and smoking fags
Because they've realized that they'll never be cool
Or else it's just me and i'm a fool
But if there's one thing that i know
It's that we're right to take it slow

From vancouver to hali-hali-fax
The kids are having panic attacks
They're writing all about their days
To make the uncertainty go away
They've stopped jumping around in bremer-town
And crying all day in visali-yay
And i will kiss you in to-rah-ronto, or if i have to
In providence, or chica-go-go-go-go

All the kids can't stand the cold
They've started to admit they're growing old
They've started taking notes and making lists
They've started to regret the things they've missed
Because they're thinking life goes by so fast
Or else it's just me and i'm an ass
But if you leave me i don't know what i'll do
Because i'm getting used to life with you

And if there's one thing that i know
It's that i have got to take it slow
