Lyrics

I just hit 26, yeah I got a late start; some other things had to fall apart to get me here. I spent years trying to make it with a band that had lost touch with fans; because you get what you give. When you stop putting in you should expect the cheers to thin. My friends, just so you know, it was just my time to go. I don't regret a single show. Oh. I drew a line in the sand. If I'm the only one that's moving 'might as well be on my own again. And I was born in early '87 to a mother too young to understand that a son was a blessing and not a curse; And father was just a six letter word for "here I made you, now I'll abandon you." Huh now I see the truth, that I'm more of a man now than you were then or will ever be... And thankfully for me, got a roof put over my head by Gram and R.I.P Uncle Paul. You both gave me your all. Now I grew up in a small town beneath the trees in New York's upstate vicinity. I was a class clown until I hit the fourth grade, when I realized that death was real. That people kill and people leave; early depression that plagued me until my mid-teens, but I stayed off the meds, learned how to introspect, and kept to myself until I got right with my head. It wasn't easy being five foot three; none of my clothes fit, there goes my self esteem. I've made my share of mistakes...probably enough to fuel me down that interstate; To drive to Florida, to find Magnolia, to let her know as I grow older that chip that destroyed us is still up on my shoulders. 'Cuz I once was lost and now I'm found...but there was no holy book or men that sit above the clouds; Just washing dishes in kitchens and selling watches & jewelry for women. I'm trying to leave this town. This place where I grew up and learned so much. The friends I keep that you can't touch. This e.p that screams "look at me now". Like a reborn phoenix I built my life back up from these ashes. The cremated jaded bird is finally ready to fly. I drew a line in the sand. If I'm the only one that's moving 'might as well be on my own again. Now this place...this town where I live...from the cradle to adulthood, supplied me with the cliches of growing up; From the memories that you wish would last forever to the mistakes that you barely limp away from...they've all made me who I am and now that I'm ready to make an impact it's time to make the move. A universe to explore, it's time to leave the ground floor. (Got to move on, Got to move up, yeah yeah, ooh) There's more to life than this. There's more to life than this.
