Rain falls down in concentration, I finally come to the realization That this place I'd once forsaken Will consume my generation.
Countless, endless summers Opposing everything we've worked for. It was foolishness that made us wish We could trade it all away.
"But that was years ago, - he shrugs - Back when we smiled and tipped our mugs. A time when boys were men, Friends never stood alone. Do you remember when I said: "I'd never walk this town again"? But you didn't believe me and now
We cross our bridges only when we reach them We burn them behind us just to see the smoke We cross, we burn, we cross and we burn Day after day this is the nothing we've learned
Progress for their promise Hold my breath, now we're all hostage Bite your tongue there, son, you're just no one Too young to know the beat
And I'm not asking you for much more Only something I could strive for If I keep pride outside my head then In my heart there will be peace
"But that was years ago, - he screams - Back when we still believed our dreams. And now we're left to doubt Outstanding self owed debts. Do you remember when we said: "We'd never end up just like them - Lost and bereaved"?
We cross our bridges only when we reach them We burn them behind us just to see the smoke We cross, we burn, we cross and we burn Day after day is the nothing we've learned? Can't we see what we owe to ourselves?
