lyrics

I walked a little bit that day, my head was sore, my feet gave way
and I just knelt as a kid, thinking of all the fucks i used to give.
I thought of the girl I once heard about, with a part time Job, at the shitty check-out
I thought of the boy that left the town, a guitar on his back, he hit the track, and never turned around

A sad song carried on the wind, a melody of where I’d been
not much tune and not much style, I’d been sat there for a while
I thought of the girl with the heart shaped scar, left for city to become a movie star
i thought of the boy that stayed at home, all he did was drink, and his mind did shrink, and his hair did grow.

And we can call it a miracle
and we can blame it on our souls
but all thats coming is the rising sun,
so get going, and get gone.

I used to long for yesterday for the old soul songs I used to play,
for the way the world looked as it grew, in buds of ebony and blue
I thought of the girl who I once kissed, she was sad and I was pissed
I thought of the boy that shook my hand, how he smiled at me, how it set me free, when we played with toy cars in the sand.

Now the days are grey and cold, the grounds are stripped of leaf and gold
What is before worth to me know, when all I’ve built has fallen down.
I thought of the boy that I had been, of all the things that I had seen.
I thought of the girl that gave me breath, and that thought alone, over everything I’ve known, is what gives me strength.

And you can call it a miralcle
and you can blame it on your soul
but all that’s coming is the rising sun
so get going and get gone.
