Shining down
As I'm turning myself all away from the sun
And I
I know
That the rhythm of the past keeps me going
One by one my memories are building up into the walls
And I
I know
The room is gone the past lives on
Somebody's painting my childhood room
Somebody's calling to tell me that my money's due
How do you still keep on fighting
Someone's who's failing their SATs
Somebody's thinking their better off overseas
How do you still keep them fighting
Blatant smile
Don't know what's wrong, what is right
All I've learned I would not rewrite
All those childish problems like when
I found out my friend had a party
Everyone was caught up on cookies and smarties
Why I wasn't there I'm not aware such a bittersweet affair
I acknowledge and declare
Somebody's painting my childhood room
Somebody's calling to tell me that my money's due
How do you still keep on fighting
Someone's who's failing their SATs
Somebody's thinking their better off overseas
How do you still keep them fighting
Landlines
Gameboys
All the good toys
Slowly fading
Weight myself
Somebody's painting my childhood room
Somebody's calling to tell me that my money's due
How do you still keep on fighting
Someone is playing in my childhood room
Someone is reigning in my neighbourhood
How do you still keep on fighting
