lyrics

You never we’re supposed to meet me
When I was a young rookie
big eyes on an open see

Salvations out of reach
Surfs up on a sinking beach
too deaf to hear the speech

no room for questions when you feel like a bother
and voices they don’t mean anything

learning these lessons get hard and harder
waiting for the day to begin
learning the same ones all over again

learning them all over again

you never got a chance to meet me
when I was a young Rookie
sly drunk and selfishly

took a ride on The great highway
for one more get away
packed up my yesterdays

growing up, I felt like a bother
my life could become anything

now in the mornings I just sound like my father
And look at my life in the sink

learning these lessons getting hard and harder
waiting for the night to begin
and learning the same ones all over again

learning them all over again
