College ends in may I hope I find a job that pays A little more than minimum wage Pray for some sun and a place to stay And the 90's died and ran away 20 years caught in a daze The only thing that remains plain as day Is lakeview lost field day Let's dye our hair grey We'll beat old father time to the chase We'll drink cheap wine and toast to our fate Pretend that we're happy Oh we'll never change If we close our eyes we'll stay the same We all know that's a lie but hey It's worth the shot kid, don't complain It's a long way down But I can see the bottom Let's hope these wings will blossom before we hit the ground Keep these fears alive Through every nightmare that arrives I fear that time is not on my side I've never been good with forsight There used to be a peace of mind Where I could draw a silver line But lately I've been drawn so tight It's a long way down But I can see the bottom Let's hope these wings will blossom before we hit the ground My eyes might stare forward, but my heart is still homeward bound I wrote this cause I couldn't sleep I hope it comforts somebody I wrote this for a younger me I hope that he'd be proud of me It's a long way It's a long way Oh my god the sun is rising (It's a long way down but I can see the bottom) Keep your cool and mind your timing (Let's hope these wings will blossom) Close your eyes (Before we hit the ground) Jump on my count, jump on my count Oh my god the sun is rising (It's a long way down but I can see the bottom) Keep your cool and mind your timing (Let's hope these wings will blossom) Close your eyes (Before we hit the ground) Jump on my count, jump on my count It's a long way
