Demo Version

lyrics

I know right now
Things don’t seem bad
You don’t understand
What makes me feel so sad
Well, either do I
Hard as I try
It eludes me

Please believe me
When I say it’s not you
It’s nothing you said
There’s nothing you can do
It’s just deep-seated fears
From uncertain years
That haunt me

I grew up under a falling sky
Trying not to make waves
Trying hard not to cry
Long summer days
Wound up so tight
It’s a hundred degrees
We’re sitting on dynamite

Uncertain years
They took their toll
Left behind
This scared, sad soul
Afraid of bad news
And all I could lose
In an instant

Everyday
I forget a little more
Let a few more ghosts
Drift out that door
There were minor crimes
But given the times
All’s forgiven

We were sailing on an unsteady ship
Staying perfectly still
So nothing would tip
So afraid and all I could think
Is that I’d be the weight
That would cause this boat to sink

I grew up under a falling sky
Trying not to make waves
Trying hard not to cry
Long summer days
Wound up so tight
It’s a hundred degrees
We’re sitting on dynamite
