歌词
Looking back through the windows of
Time to remember just the way we were
A couple of well-meaning firstborns
Of sordid family shit
In over your head, exposed to mother's debts
She racked up when your dad took off
Hustling candy between class to try and pay for it
A wounded animal
Did they grin and grind you down?
Did they tell you what's in store for you?
Another perfect storm
Is it too dark to keep your sight?
Is it too late to save your soul?
When I got back into town and in need of a friend
You were my first call
It felt so good with the windows down playing The Promise Ring
But I soon found out that the pressures of
Your life got to be just too much to bear
Funny how the weight of your world made you turn to heavier things
A wounded animal
Did they grin and grind you down?
Did they tell you what's in store for you?
Another perfect storm
Is it too dark to keep your sight?
Is it too late to save your soul?
Had your whole goddamn life in front of you
But your shoulders were bruised
By the weight they accrued
Out west, sleeping on floors and under big sky
You needed an ally
And where the hell was I?
Where the hell was I?
A wounded animal
Did they grin and grind you down?
Did they tell you what's in store for you?
Another perfect storm
Is it too dark to keep your sight?
Is it too late to save
Where the hell was I?
Where the hell was I?
Did they grin and grind you down?
Did they tell you what's in store for you?
Another perfect storm
Is it too dark to keep your sight?
Is it too late to save your soul?
