We dipped our toes into the water See if we would sink or swim See myself in my little boy Same werewithal within Life is such a temporary thing Such a temporary thing It is absolutely cruel and beautiful We chipped off icicles in the winter cold When spearing in the snow I caught up with my past When I couldn't feel my toes I was just a little boy again Just a little boy again It was momentary but, man, it was beautiful Oh, but I got a long, long, long, long, long way to go Yeah, I got volumes and volumes to show you But enough on that for now Yes, enough on that for now We watched the robins in the cold Strip the hollies to the bone All the branches bled red You could nearly hear them moan Life is such a symbiotic thing Such a symbiotic thing It is absolutely cruel and beautiful Well, I walked my boy through the cementery Taking pictures in the park Past graves both fresh and old And a plot where 'x' had marked the spot Next day it was dug Yeah, the next day it was dug Oh, life is young and beautiful Then it's lonely and cold Oh, but you've got a long, long, long, long way to go. Yeah, you've got volumes and volumes to show me But enough on that for now Yes, enough on that for now Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Run, run, run, run, run We carved our lanes through the rubble Found our footing in the dark I'm teaching you, you're learning me Through the jitters and the sparks I see lightning in your eyes The thunder in your heart I know it's temporary but, man, it's so beautiful We're filling up every home And we're paving every path We're tallying the tomes But I've never been that good at math Just pa**ing face Oh, ones and oh's and waves. We are temporary but, man, it's so beautiful. Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Run, run, run, run, run Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Honey, you've got to run Run, run, run, run, run
