I can see
In the back of my head
That it's passed
And I can't let it go
I remember BBQs and footballs thrown
Horns explode
Playing out in the road
Just south of my home
Where we'd count out loud while alone
Playing tracker with each other from underneath all the overgrowth
Hold it close
Show me where it went
Where'd it go
When did all the color lose its glow
Was it in the transition from a kitten to adult
Was it learning all the wisdom that was kept out of our home
I remember when I didn't have to wake myself
When every single morning outta bed I didn't hate myself
I'd wait to fall down the staircase
Dead weight
When I didn't spend every waiting minute
Thinking I'm a head-case
For I was a man
In my old man's eyes
I associated happy
With the act of getting high
Now I be finding myself in same rotation
Day out day in
Dazed, drunk, dumb-chump, empty head with thick skin
Where's the warmth
I feel a shiver every time I perform
And now I'm being told its the norm
You can't see the pain the coat covers
Cause nothing compares to the summer
And where's the warmth
I feel a shiver every time I perform
And now I'm being told its the norm
You can't see the pain the coat covers
Cause nothing compares to the summer
I remember when I'd never spent a full 24 awake
And I wanted to know what's it's like
Maybe I had thought that they hadn't got it right
Saying day crept out from the gut of the night
Now I know the answer
After seeing 3 suns while awake
Used to want a nap
Now I want a f*cking break
Snap back to the time
When the thoughts were erased
"We're ok." Was a hug and a slice of strawberry cake
Earthquake to my world
When I first loved
But I assure you boy that you count it as a bullet that you dodged
Thank your own thick headed ass or your god
Yea
Hurt at the time
But you learned to move on
I remember ball shots to my brother in the backyard
Ice cream band aids over black top scars
Hiding in the trash
Tossing pebbles at a cop car
When the meaning didn't matter if we smiled
Where's the warmth
I feel a shiver every time I perform
And now I'm being told its the norm
You can't see the pain the coat covers
Cause nothing compares to the summer
And where's the warmth
I feel a shiver every time I perform
And now I'm being told its the norm
You can't see the pain the coat covers
Cause nothing compares to the summer
It's a heat
I can feel if I think hard
It's hollow at best
And I've been a mess
In my memories all I can see is that same old address
I wanna go home. (Ba da dum da da. Dadada)
I wanna go home. (Ba da dum da da. Dadada)
I wanna go home. (Ba da dum da da. Dadada)
I wanna go home. (Ba da dum da da. Dadada)
I wanna go home. (Ba da dum da da. Dadada)
I wanna go home. (Ba da dum da da. Dadada)
