What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
You are my favorite miracle
2
When the world finally ends, only then will our destinies doubt us
3
When we spin off the edge of our steps and our couches
4
When just the hidden songs are left on our cassettes and our albums
5
Can we expect that something better surrounds us, when we exit our houses
6
The death of my childhood would unfold in notches
7
It was a cave in social comet of a stolen promise
8
So how'd we grow up but not grow up into who we said we'd grow up
9
Into we said we knew some day we'd grow up beyond this
10
Now I'm as lonely as the town drunk, who only knows he's a man
11
When he's holding a handful of SoCo and Daniels
12
Sitting at the bar calling all the colleges girls over
13
To sing him Billy Joel karaoke from a broken piano
14
I don't wanna end up just like him I'll keep on writing till me bookmark bends
15
I keep on writing till I lose all that's left of my good hard friends
16
Until I've spent all the gold that had took our breathe
17
If only it matters I probably I take the loneliest stance
18
I miss unholy abandoned home to me we always will carry it
19
With the strength of an ocean it'll grow like soldiers in battle
20
And looking back over my shoulder see the roads that we travel
21
Without the worst nights (nights)
22
And my glory years (years)
23
Without the holes in the rooftop we climbed on
24
Without the dead nights (nights)
25
And the adventure life (life)
26
Without the memories we never bet our lives on
27
How would I know whoever I am
28
Without the long drive to anywhere that we were always miles from
29
If these are the best of times I don't want mine back
30
The glory years I always thought I'd have are here
31
So for anybody who still feels they have the best years of their life left to live
32
I'm right there with you
33
We nicknamed our best friend Ghost for all the haunts he'd have
34
There's more to life then the glory years that we thought we'd have
35
We formed a pact for down the road in case we lost track
36
A dollar diner coffee calls and screen porch menthol packs
37
If you went up summer in an office selling car glass
38
And I still live at home in five years lets get our maps
39
And tape 'em to the window seat we could travel north fast
40
Small town kids who learned to fight from our divorced dads
41
Know the rules of separation like our palms
42
Tired eyed of watching burning houses from our lawns
43
If only we could find a wait and vacant distant summers
44
And fall in deep enough love we'd make our parents miss each other
45
One story starts for everyone that never made it
46
I kissed my first girlfriend on an air mattress that levitated
47
I used to hate the ground thats roots and holes are bound to fail
48
But making out in UFOs at the Orange County Fair
49
Made me feel like something from another world would save us
50
Or some great tragedy would come along to turn my pages
51
Maybe I was waiting for a battlefield to earn my place in
52
Still looking back at us the world can see we were courageous
53
But all our worry signs and torn up lives I won't ignore
54
Fell in love too many times at least we got to know our floors
55
I don't plan to ever get the moments we were hoping for
56
A couple years later fast forward
57
Now I know I won't try (try)
58
I know I won't try (try)
59
I will spend my whole life looking for an answer that I won't find
60
Now I know I won't find it, damn right I won't find it
61
Imma take potential and bury it like I'm gold mining
62
I'll take my pen and I'll press it and pray my penmanship resurrects
63
My depressions, my friendships, my I'm in my own crisis
64
Because I'm only twenty-two
65
How am I wishing for the wisdom that's been missing in collision with my old life
66
I said I'm only twenty-two, how the fuck am I wishing for what's missing in an old life
67
Without the worst nights
68
And my glory years (Without the lows in the rooftops we dived from
69
Without the dead nights
70
And the adventure life
71
Without the people that you never could rely on
72
Man how would you know whoever you are
73
Without the long drives down the black midnight roads we almost died on
74
These are the best of times and I don't want mine back
75
The glory years I always swore I'd have aren't here
76
But I got wrongs, I got roads, I got seams, I got long intermissions where I lost my feet
77
I got my best friends behind yeah I brought my team, their in the background singing, "Yeah that's all I need"
78
The orange lights the ocean gasp and it's all a passive, my ... life flashes short enough to make my story last
79
There's more to write then the pouring rain and the autumn grass
80
There's more to drive to then all the places you wanna crash
81
There's more to life then the glory years that you thought you'd have
82
But I don't know where I am
83
I'm just lost in my glory years
