Bigwig

Rain falls down in concentration
I finally come to the realization
That this place Id once forsaken
Will consume my generation
Countless, endless summers
Opposing everything weve worked for
It was foolishness that made us wish
We could trade it all away
But that was years ago he shrugs
Back when we smiled and tipped our mugs
A time when boys were men
Friends never stood alone
Do you remember when I said
Id never walk this town again
But you didnt believe me and now
We cross our bridges only when we reach them
We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
We cross, we burn
We cross and we burn
Day after day this is the nothing weve learned
Progress for their promise
Hold my breath, now were all hostage
Bite your tongue there son youre just no one
Too young to know the beat
And Im not asking you for much more
Only something I could strive for
If I keep pride outside my head then
In my heart there will be peace
But that was years ago he screams
Back when we still believed our dreams
And now were left to doubt
Outstanding self owed debts
Do you remember when we said
Wed never end up just like them
Lost and bereaved
We cross our bridges only when we reach them
We burn them behind us just to see the smoke
We cross, we burn
We cross and we burn
Day after day is the nothing weve learned?
Cant we see what we owe to ourselves?
