God would only treat you right if you don't ask a thing
God would only treat you right if you don't ask a thing
God would only treat you right if you don't ask a thing

I've been so cold to everybody that loves
I've been so cold, everybody that loves me
Teenage symphonies to God
I wish I could change it
Change it

I've been teared up, teared up, teared up
Yeah, we teared up, teared up, we teared up
Since a child I dreamed of this, this right here
Magic in my veins, let it out, I could die here
Be in the making of it all, make it up as we go along
You can have it all, take my last tear
Teared up, seared up, no fear in us
I'm resilient, not tough, you hearing us

God would only treat you right if you don't ask a thing
God would only treat you right if you don't ask a thing
God would only treat you right if you don't ask a thing

I've been so cold to everybody that loves
I've been so cold, everybody that loves me
Teenage symphonies to God
I wish I could change it

Can't clear it up, steer it up
Time's ticking and it's catching up after us
No fear in me, but this should be our wear and thin
The leather jacket and the snowstorm's caving in
After the party and the celebration
I'm alone with the desperation
I'm in love with the isolation
It's escalating, I can't change it

When you get what you want, is it really what you want?
Is it still what you dreamed of or something that would haunt?
I write symphonies for us, teenage symphonies for God
Teenage crimes have been lost and I really had it all
Sometimes I shut the world off
Sometimes it all feels too much of a job
I know we all get lost
Maybe it's too much, maybe I just had too much of it all
Stand for nothing, for everything you'll fall
I stood for something, stood tall through it all
Watch my sin, wash my sins through the water, through the falls
The purest of it all

I've been so cold to everybody that loves
I've been so cold, everybody that loves me
Teenage symphonies to God
I wish I could change it
