lyrics

For the first time lately, I felt my parents words
They settled on my shoulders and whispered in my ears
Son, you’re wearing out, you’re learning now there’s nothing for you here
So if you fill your heart and play your cards, well this could be your year

All my friends, they were once gold..

We spoke slow for something real
We broke bones to let them heal
And the fires all went out on their own
Our fires all went out on their own

So don’t be so hard, I’ll be here to take the blame
You’ve gone too far, now these streets don’t look the same

All my friends, they were once gold
All my friends, they know better now
All my friends are spreading wings and I’m afraid that I’ll turn to dust.
That I’ll turn to dust

We spoke slow for something real
We broke bones to let them heal
We spent most of our lives under suburban skies
We don’t know anymore through our city windows
And the fires all went out on their own
Our fires all went out on their own

Maybe we were born too late to follow in our father’s steps
Maybe we were born too late, we’re stuck hoping there’s something left
Born too late

We spoke slow for something real
We broke bones to let them heal
We spent days under suburban skies
We don’t know anymore through our city windows
These fires all went out on their own
Our fires all went out on their own
