I was a sheltered kid, but we hit each other with bats
We kept our heads in helmets while constantly swatting gnats
Two feelings you can recall
Grip tape against our legs
And tossing orange felt balls cross-legged on carpet
The truth is there was more [?]
The fuzz of an uncle's arm
Spilling soda in the living room
There were promises
It never felt like this
If everyone belongs here
It shouldn't feel like this
There were promises
It never felt like this
If everyone belongs here
It shouldn't feel like this
The truth is we dropped it all
Kept our fingers' tendons wrapped too lose above the curve
And everyone saw it snap
Your neighbor said it looked like something from the Twilight Zone
Now we're driving two hours away
With no tape player and a broken collar bone
These are promises
Now we'll feel like this
You end up on so many pills
I should hold on
They made promises
Now we feel like this
You end up on so many pills
Is this [?]
These are promises
We shouldn't feel like this
You end up on so many pills
Does this mean nothing?
Why do we keep freaking out?
You kept your arms around me
Trying hard not to think about
What will they do without me?
(Dip my arm into the lake
We saw your struggle to stay calm)
Why do we keep freaking out?
You kept your arms around me
(Dip my arm into the lake
We saw your struggle to stay calm)
Trying hard not to think about
What will they do without me?
(Dip my arm into the lake
We saw your struggle to stay calm)
Why do we keep freaking out?
You kept your arms around me
(Dip my arm into the lake
We saw your struggle to stay calm)
Trying hard not to think about
What will they do without me?
(Dip my arm into the lake
We saw your struggle to stay calm)
