lyrics

No more terrible things like sleeping on floors
My adventuring days are done

How can I be old and broken
I was just born and hadn’t spoken
There’s now nothing left to say I can’t take back

Things on my mind fall out of my ears
And while I’m not dead I’ve put on some years
And you wouldn’t call this bit baby fat now would you

Who says dark clouds don’t have silver linings
There are some sure to likely rewards even if they have bad timings
If you’ve wandered long enough and found a place to hang your hat

I have a love a home some cats and no reason to be mad
But I live with and manage anger just the same
I have all of my favorite things in one place on a rock that is flying through space
Time to read a song to write but it’s a little too sad

It’s true I’m far too young to retire / In Some lights I’ve done nothing at all
In the dark I’ve started fires and burned cities loved and lived into the ground

Salting the ground behind me just to add some flavor
And maybe some friends made should have remained just neighbors

As it all blends into just one polaroid of fading memory
All considered if I’m lucky time will forget and forgive me
And if I’m really lucky at least one will miss me
