[Verse]
When I was younger
Everything was all there was
Home was always up and down
Lonely harbor town
Couldn’t see past our driveway
Indifference bred a certain fight
A fervent, burning light
My bedroom got too small
Six feet under family walls
I’ve spent my life
Fighting to be free of
[Pre Chorus]
Choosing between Dad or Mom
Confrontations come and gone;I’ve
Gotten so good at moving on
I can’t see our driveway
[Chorus]
Woah ooh ay
I’ve always felt a little far from home
Woah ooh ay
Old Ritalin riddled in my bones
I’ve learned with some age
And some childlike fits of rage:
You can be right, And still be wrong
[Verse]
Little older now
More or less as up and down
I’m learning I can feel distress before I reason;
Feeling less and less like I’m earning each season
Hurts a duller knife
With love in my life
I’m not afraid
Like the river, stay the same by:
[Pre Chorus]
Learning to lose and embrace what changes;
How it inevitably rearranges
Take notes and when it’s time to turn the page
Just savor each last word
[Chorus]
Woah ooh ay
I’ve always felt a little far from home
Woah ooh ay
Old Ritalin riddled in my bones
I’ve learned with some age
And some childlike fits of rage:
You can be right, And still be wrong
(There’s a tact to being heard; don’t hurt someone.)
(There’s a tact to being heard; don’t hurt someone.)
[Outro]
Mom said:
“Son, sometimes you’ve got to be a lion
To be the lamb you are
There’s a time and place for crying
And there’s a time to take a stand
To dig your heels down in the sand
And know you’re right
That'll always be enough
