It’s the final way I’ll go
White rose and holy joes
Can’t forget it’s lullaby
Can’t have it without U and I
White lines road signs highways lead me home
Inside my mind I forget about the long run
I take my time moving in slow motion
I’ll be there soon
Driving on the back of my hand
These roads are veins to where I began
You say a tiny cul-de-sac shouldn’t keep me going back but some things in life are evergreen
And nothing falls as hard if keep the better parts and the things we call family
Headlights road signs highways lead me home
Inside my mind I forget about the long run
I take my time moving in slow motion
I’ll be there soon
And I know that this home
Can turn me back to you
If I can’t see and I’m lost it’ll
Turn me back to you
Back to you Back To you
This home will turn me Back to you
White lines road signs highways lead me home

I want to fall apart in the back of a motel
I’ll call you the one while I’m faithfully myself cheating
I want the eyes on me to lust with desire
I’m gonna give you a smoke when you ask for a lighter
All, all of my life - I want it higher
All, all of my life - I want more
I want to break everything in this goddamn town
I’ll never leave but I’ll blame it for all of my problems
I want to follow the trends and convince you I set them
I’m gonna be an asshole to all of my close friends
All, all of my life - I want it higher
All, all of my life - I want more
Born then baptized to franchise - I never found the light
Razed by your kind in this state of mind - I’ll never make wrong, right?

Hello someone up above
I’ll call you God if you want
I’ve never done it quite like this
Well I’ve only just
Closed my eyes and said
What I thought they’d like
Now I’d like instead
To write my own life
Hello friend of my family
Sorry I am whispering
But they are waiting at the door
And they won’t allow what I ask for
I know I know that I shouldn’t be mad at you
But you are blocking out the truth
What I want I want is you to give em all a clue
All of the proof
In my constant daydream
I’m fighting fires with my wings
And I can breathe a breath so deep
The earth’s pain can live in me
Give me give me evergreen
And a kinder guarantee
And I know I know they don’t believe me when I say
I still trust you
So I close my eyes and speak
Does it help if I
Fold my hands and scream
Will you hear if I
Change my life and give up
Everything to you
And sit back and watch
Like they all do
I wanna em to know that I will be there when it falls I wanna em to know that
I wanna see them grow and let em come along I wanna do that
I want them to know that I will be here after all I want em to know that
Cos’ even though it all might change it’s still my home I wanna know that

Monday morning hallway locker just before the bell
I’m walking to you thinking feet don’t fail me now
I practised every word but now they won’t come out - to ask you out
I call it luck you call it charm - make me blush
Lunch table conversation - always talk too much
Another night I’m wishing it was time for waking up - I’ve dreamt enough
When we were young
Tried and true
When we were young
That’s all we knew
When we were young
Friday night on the stands only watching you
I lent you $2.5 for for a mountain dew
Green eyeing the boys as they chase you on - I play along
Audible under bleachers nervously alone
Touchdown hail mary to the endzone
Another night I’m wishing it was time for waking up - I’ve dreamt enough
When we were young
Tried and true
When we were young
That's all we knew
When we were young
When we were young
Just pink and blue
When we were young
Cos’ you told us to
When we were young
Sunlight I got it got it got it now
Sunlight I got it got it got it now
Sunlight I got it got it got it now
Sunlight I got it got it got it now
