I'd be scared just to list out all the ways
I've put my anxiety in front of the things I'd want to say
But that's okay I'd mess them up anyway
so breath in breath out cus you're probably better off this way
I know that these means more than protest signs and fighting through the cold
and I know we've been here before and god knows we're all getting old
but I promise if we make it out of here of alive we'll see the city go up like the fourth of July
For years now it's all we've been told
but instead of student loans we should smashing the mold
We'll take our lessons from the speakers out at Dewey Square
until the smoke from downtown starts to fill the air
I was raised a certain way
I know that everyone is welcome and they have the right to stay
If they want but if not then thats okay.
I'll tare down every wall they build brick by brick every single day
I know that these means more than protest signs and fighting through the cold
and I know we've been here before and god knows we're all getting old
but I promise if we make it out of here of alive we'll see the city go up like the fourth of July
For years now it's all we've been told
but instead of student loans we should smashing the mold
We'll take our lessons from the speakers out at Dewey Square
until the smoke from downtown starts to fill the air

If you drive down the highway
for an hour or two
you'll start to see things my way
put it all in the rear view
it's time to go see the country
it's time to slow things way down
we'll be a little bit rusty but
there's a whole world outside of this town.
I know you've gotta be sick
of the same tall buildings and all the people they're filled with.
I know it's scary as hell
But when those buildings come down do you want to be by yourself
I wanna feel something in my hands
I'm getting tired of the bosses
I get anxious without a plan
but only focus on the loses.
I want to help create change
Everyone deserves a fair wage
I really hate the term think tank
I guess I'm showing my age
I know you've gotta be sick
of the same tall buildings and all the people they're filled with.
I know it's scary as hell
But when those buildings come down do you want to be by yourself

Old Lyme was a funny kind of place
We ran right into our teens like some drunk delinquent race
Pasttimes were backseats and night trips to Hawk's Beach
We didn't want it any other way
Now I know not to drive at night with my lights off
Or park in Connecticut with a girl drunk on popov
You'll get lost just off the highway in the middle of nowhere
Ignoring calls from friends worried about where you are so I swear...
Hammonasset I won't see you again
You're buried in the past like all my old best friends
We grew up too fast and barely had a chance
To know what it's like to wait for the weekend
Nothing good happens after 3am
but it was the rush of getting caught that made us drive up again
With our morals in the trash and Irish in my glass
We never thought that it would end.
Now I know not to drive at night with my lights off
Or park in Connecticut with a girl drunk on popov
You'll get lost just off the highway in the middle of nowhere
Ignoring calls from friends worried about where you are so I swear...
Hammonasset I won't see you again
You're buried in the past like all my old best friends
We grew up too fast and barely had a chance
To know what it's like to wait for the weekend
I'll never go home
I'll never go home
I'll never go
Now I know not to drive at night with my lights off
Or park in Connecticut with a girl drunk on popov
You'll get lost just off the highway in the middle of nowhere
Ignoring calls from friends worried about where you are so I swear...
Hammonasset I won't see you again
You're buried in the past like all my old best friends
We grew up too fast and barely had a chance
To know what it's like to wait for the weekend

it took eight years for me to realize
all the kids that I thought I liked
when I was young and need someone
to tell me this isn't what it's like
out there in the real world
where you won't be handed a single thing
They had all the coolest clothes and could afford all of the gear
to start all of the best punk bands and throw the best parties every year
While the lame kids sat outside and waited in line hoping to get in.
but we're the ones who know what it's like to really be alone
those songs are written about us not the kids from perfect homes
with perfect families and their credit cards, SUV's and big back yards
You can take it all but we'll keep the music, you can never take these chords.
I was always wondering where things where going to end up
while the rich kids had their whole life planned out from the start
it must be nice not having to worry if the lights will go off
I still remember getting punched when I stood up for the kid
who never really had much or friends to play with but
fast forward twenty years and he's happy for the way he grew up
cus we're the ones who know what it's like to really be alone
those songs are written about us not the kids from perfect homes
with perfect families and their credit cards, SUV's and big back yards
You can take it all but we'll keep the music, you can never take these chords.
Yeah Luke got sent away for the bag things he did
he had all the opportunities but no one to talk with
Years later he came back but nothing was the same
They tried to scare him straight instead of dealing with the pain
now fast forward twenty years and he still hates the way he grew up.
cus we're the ones who know what it's like to really be alone
those songs are written about us not the kids from perfect homes
with perfect families and their credit cards, SUV's and big back yards
You can take it all but we'll keep the music, you can never take these chords.
