Our moms won't find out how we die
Or if things ever turn out right
A truth of overlapping lives
We're all left behind
In a chain of memories
Tied up somewhere back overseas
To the trunks of the family trees
We won't recognize
With our same green eyes

I've watched you disappear
For years and years but you're still here
It's not too late to find yourself again
And I've felt the weight of days
I've carried not to throw away
But all there is is this one in the end

I spent my twenties terrified
Running out of places to hide
But came out on the other side
Awake and wide-eyed
With some storytelling scars
The bad tattoos of boring bars
The backseat of your brother's car
Which you could not find
In perfect daylight

I've watched you disappear
For years and years but you're still here
I want to sing some songs with you again
And I've felt the weight of days
I've carried not to throw away
But all there is is this one in the end

A broken history will never mend
And all there is is this one in the end

Our moms won't find out how we die
Or if things ever turn out right
A truth of overlapping lives
We're all left behind
All left behind
All left behind

I've watched you disappear
For years and years but you're still here
It's not too late to find yourself again
And I've felt the weight of days
I've carried not to throw away
But all there is is this one in the end

I've watched you disappear
But come on out, the coast is clear
It's not too late, it's not too late, my friend
And I've felt the weight of days
They wash away, they wash away
But all there is is this one in the end
