lyrics

BACK WHEN I WAS ONLY FIVE
THERE WERE SECRETS STILL ALIVE
BUT THEY'VE BEEN BURIED NOW FOR SO LONG
I DON'T EVEN KNOW IF THINGS WENT ON
I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT WENT ON

I'M NOT THE MAN I USED TO BE
AND THAT SEEMS NATURAL TO ME
I COULD ONLY STAY THAT WAY FOR SO LONG
I DON'T MIND THE CHANGES WHEN THEY COME

IN THE WARM OHIO SUN / IN THE CALIFORNIA SUN / IN THE NEW YORK CITY SUN
I'LL BE MISSING EVERYONE
BUT I DON'T WANT THEM TO KNOW

IT WON'T MATTER WHEN YOU'RE OLD
THERE'S JUST STORIES TO BE TOLD
OFF OUR BACKS, LET IT ROLL

HE SAYS HE'LL LEAVE IT ALL BEHIND
BUT IT'S STILL PLAYING IN HIS MIND
LIKE A MOVIE STUCK ON REWIND
ONE DAY HE'S WAKING UP TO FIND

THAT THE TIME ZONES DON'T ERASE
YOU STILL HAVE TO RUN THE HUMAN RACE
WE CAN ONLY CARRY YOU FOR SO LONG
THEN AFTER THAT YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN

YOU'RE HOLDING YOUTH THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
AND IT'S GETTING KIND OF SAD
HOW YOU'RE SET TO SELF-DESTRUCT
AND THEN YOU BLAME IT ON BAD LUCK

ON YOUR SHOULDER THERE'S A CHIP
YOU CAN'T REMEMBER WHY THAT IS
BUT IT'S BEEN SITTING THERE FOR SO LONG
YOU MIGHT MISS IT IF IT'S GONE
