lyrics

Playing baseball with Johnny outside of the old church
While Brians inside working hard on his research
Just trying to find the point in this
The only thing I’ve ever studied was women
And how to make millions while we were still children
Adults never listened to all of our visions
So we kept our distance
Oh we kept our distance

Were you thinking
Of all the consequences now
He left you sinking
Buried underneath rocky ground
Out by the old church
Your fathers bones lay here so proud
He knows that you hurt
He knows that you hurt

Wandering closer while burning our bridges
Money for kisses
Send hugs to the misses
They say that I fly to close to the sun
But I am not scared of the things I’ve become
Jingling pockets and over filled closets
Dragging my sneakers
I’ll ask why my knees hurt
I’ll play the victim to unhealthy systems
But I’m not a victim
I feel like a symptom

And I’ll be fine

Were you thinking
Of all the consequences now
He left you sinking
Buried underneath rocky ground
Out by the old church
Your fathers bones lay here so proud
He knows that you hurt
He knows that you hurt

Tell me now
Is it high above the clouds?
Is it rain or pleasant sounds?
Do you know?
Tell me now
Is it worth its weight in gold?
Is it something I can hold?
Do you know?

Is it free?
Is it free?
I think that I found it deep inside my bones
It’s riding my bike at eleven years old
In winter and summer and spring and the fall
It’s me and a friend bubblegum in our jaws
Just me and a friend bubblegum in our jaws

It’s winter and summer and spring and the fall
It’s me and a friend bubblegum in our jaws
