Lyrics
Between sips you say
thereโs nothing heroic about
growing up like you did
surviving somehow
I held you at 17
Baby, you havenโt changed a bit
Still wearing a face of steel
Still feeling all of it
When I think of your dad
Yeah it chokes me up
And I wasnโt the one going through all of that stuff
Are you there right now?
That sixty degree summer you spend out west
Flipped a car, broke a heart resurrected a friend
Are you there right now?
You called it โFebruary whiplashโ
when the power goes out
It donโt come back
your eyes adjust to living in the dark
Your eyes give up on seeing who you are
Head strong anxious and healing slow
Repaying your debts
clawing back control
youโd like to love somebody to a fault
Youโd like to feel like you deserve it all
When I think of us young yeah, it makes me sick
I wake up wishing that we were together when were kids
Are you there right now?
The fatal flaws of the people that you had needed to breathe
Destroying your American Dream trajectory
Are you there right now?
Ohh we donโt gotta talk about before
Oh we donโt gotta talk about before
Oh we donโt gotta talk about before
Oh we donโt gotta talk about before
But weโll have to stop our running while weโre stunted and afraid
taking stock of what we lost thereโs so much life on the table
Are you there?
The fatal flaws of the people that we donโt gotta be
Destroying your American Dream trajectory
Are you there right now?
