lyrics

// VERSE 1 //
Thought we knew where each other stood,
but I've missed your face round the neighborhood.
You won't tell me how you took it in;
I admit life ain’t always good.
Busted runnin', tasting sin.
But we'll stick around like we said we would.

Found new triggers; game and set.
We’ll burn it in so they won’t forget.
Like we're headed for the dirt.
Still the stiffs look through us yet.
Getting paid, getting hurt.
This little man's gonna take his bet.

// CHORUS //
Young sailor look and run.
See what's left to be won.
Why we stay once we're done.
Find our way, back in the sun.

// VERSE 2 //
I can't tell you what life's about,
but we ain’t ones for steppin’ out.
Bottomed out and took their turn.
We're bouncing back without a doubt,
in their wake; we felt the burn.
Close our eyes, and hear them shout.

All patched up and re-supplied.
Set up shop on the other side.
Did you get those special dues?
Went off the scene now we'll bust it wide.
Cruisin' young, makin’ news.
The only time we're brushed aside.

// CHORUS //

// VERSE 3 //
Stuck in that same point of view.
When all you reached for has fallen through.
No one chose how they were born.
The past is brewin' and houndin’ you.
You were there, you were warned.
My life has taken a darker hue.

// CHORUS //
