Now you left yourself there on the wall
Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete
Here on Earth, the sun in the sky, between my teeth
Looking down, shaking some hand, older than mine
Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers
Choked up on the chic of havin' hair like Jesus
The flags are breezing with a brand-new feelin'
Expensive seats full of abandoned reason
The sun cries tears, and they land inside ya
You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah
That's when the world got involved, and I woke up older
With a flag of surrender draped across my shoulder
Remember before? When we cared about things like
Who was the tallest, waiting 'round for the adults to stop talking
But they can't see past what absorbs them
When I grow up, I'll do it different
Tryin' to change the world by wishin'
If I could have it all, whatever I liked
I just want everyone to be alright
To get a little respite from the night after night of it
I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight
I left myself there on the wall lookin' up
At the pictures in the pebble-dash glistening bright
Listen, I might've drunk one too many years
'Cause when the sun sheds tears now, they set me alight
Now you left yourself there on the wall
Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete
Here on Earth, the sun in the sky, between my teeth
Looking down, shaking some hand older than mine
Wants you to know everything that you feel, felt it before
Promises so close to the sun, when all's said and done
I cherish it, stitch a tear to a prayer, fly it so they see
See it turn to sails that catch the wind and follow it until it leaves
Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers
Choked up on the chic of havin' hair like Jesus
The flags are breezing with a brand-new feelin'
Expensive seats full of abandoned reason
The sun cries tears, and they land inside ya
You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah
Listen, I might've drunk one too many years
'Cause when the sun sheds tears now, they set me alight
I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight
