lyrics

family comes around, every now and then
with their face in their phones, ask how you've been
but that's a question with an answer you'd rather not give

ah, but once you rained fire down that east coast shore
with your 454, your green eyed girl
thinking maybe, you really died after that last kiss

change is in the mirror and it's looking back
had some good years, but they go so fast
and oh, all you're left with is the ghosts
racing in the street on a saturday night
music too loud and your hair just right
and oh, who woulda thought you'd ever get old
so it goes
oh, it goes

tried to stand up when the flag was raised
and your brother, lowered into that grave
with their hands on your elbows
you were carrying all the weight
and lord, it really hit you like them chicken pox
how you'd play in the dirt
and climb on the rocks
and how you'd gladly take his place in the pinewood box

change is in the mirror and it's looking back
had some good years, but they go so fast
and oh, all you're left with is the ghosts
nothing lasts forever then you're out of time
never really ready for that long goodbye
and oh, who woulda thought you'd ever get old
so it goes
ah, it goes

standing here looking down a long, dark hall
it could be a disaster, a slip or a fall
but you fell so hard back then
what could it hurt once more?

MORTARS Tennessee

The part of the lake where all the trash washes up, the driveway at the house show when the AC is broken and it is too hot to play inside, the basement where you have to watch what you step on and the air feels real heavy. That is where we shine.
