Matchbox Twenty - Rebels Lyrics

When you lose yourself in a photograph
And the room gets heavy
'Cause you can't go back to sixteen
To rainbow hair and ripped jeans
To keep your head above the water
Sometimes you had to hold your tongue

We're all rebels when we're young
I think it's time you let it go now
When you get angry with yourself
And there ain't no other road out
You blame the rebel that you sold out

And it's all exciting
You were so alive
Like a wheel in motion
You were terrified you'll lose it
Hell, everybody loses
It was never how you wanted
Now it's never good enough

We're all rebels when we're young
I think it's time you let it go now
When you get angry with yourself
You blame the rebel that you sold out
You blame the rebel that you sold out
That you sold out

Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now

When you're all messed up
And you don't know why
You're rattling cages and the world just flies by
Like you're losing time
But you can't go back
You can't go back, no

We're all rebels when we're young (we're young)
I think it's time you let it go now (go now)
When you get angry with yourself (yourself)
You blame the rebel that you sold out (that you sold out)
You blame the rebel that you sold out

You blame the rebel that you, you blame the rebel that you
You blame the rebel that you sold out, sold out
You blame the rebel that you, you blame the rebel that you
You blame the rebel that you sold out, sold out
