Stories from southern explorers tell of vastly open sky
All I see is sweat and concrete, I avert my eyes
They put scaffolding, warning signs and things we used to climb
Fences around fences and told us to say inside
We enter city nights wide eyed
Like lambs to the slaughter
And around every corner someone's son's putting hands on

We fill up on things we can't explain
And we laugh, as we trickle down the drain
As we trickle down
And I grew up not far from here but now nothing's the same

And I've got plans for you and me, our lives are gonna change
And my fathers a hero so I follow in his path
Just by endless words of wisdom

When I was young wanted to destroy everything I made
Now I'm old, I'm jaded but at least I'm not the same
And every inch of me is always itching unless I'm on a
stage. *And I abuse the path I
admit it * with the plans that I have made, *defy its temp
tuition * and my debts will get payed
And we live
*Breathe once to me *
Now I smiling when I
wake. For the first time in
my life I'm smiling when I wake and

All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
And here it is
All I ever needed was better timing and plans
All I ever needed was someone like you
And all my life I known this is exactly what I should do
Not just sit in my own skin
And I've never been as happy as
here. As happy as
here
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands yeah
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
All I ever needed was something I can hold in my hands
And here it is
