I know I signify more to you than stability alone Like August in a midwestern state Full of grace and half broken bones
You're falling over your own unfortunate songs You can soak in all the sun you want But it can't burn away your home
You're so close to changing forever And I'm too close to my family to notice This year had better make me a new man This liar could reach out and find me I don't look up to enough local heroes I still don't feel inspired enough to change You leave me more than a martyr would ask for With civil service and my conscience to blame
I'm sorry I made you lose focus I didn't think you slept enough to dream Of a never-ending need to follow And a never-ending need to persuade me
