The Best Fears of Our Lives
Dylan Owen

The best fears of our lives

Can all come true if we let them

When all our heroes have died

And we all become legends

The best fears of our lives will disappear when it's time

But I'll still love you when your parents die

And when my parents die

And we're forced to face this world together terrified


Someday we'll be on our own

With our bags packed walking out our childhood homes

And I'll be carrying mind states to carry in mine

You'll be hysterical staring up at the stereo crying

If all I ever wanted was too soon endeared

Then I long to be forgotten and my roots stripped bare

I looked for answers on the posters in my room this year

They told me... stop, you're being too sincere


This is for the girls that I've kissed who are named after cities

Shelby Berlin and Madison Chelsea Lily and Tippy

We made a big city vow that we once cleared

To never let our country sides keep us here

But we just buried a boy who used to laugh in my car

When we gutted up packs of cigars in vanishing factory yards

So like the poetry you draft on your arms

We weren't wrong, the world had to be ours


We're taking the ages we changed and we're breaking our vows

We prayed for the rain at the lake when we came there to drown

We were power line conquerors but one day they chained us down

Yeah there were one too many days when I just wanted out

I just wanted out

These are the best fears

Of our lives


My glory years left, as wild as they came

All my friends moved west, they got tired of the rain

How can you pack your bags when you don't know who you are

I hope Los Angeles is beautiful and treats you all like movie stars

With its skin deep wish

My anemic blood brother, you did me big

Dear Pat, I'll have your back until you're big needless

I still believe that you gon be the next Springsteen, kid

I'm not proud of it

How can I walk down

On the mountains of forced ground

In the valleys of lost solaces

Every day the armor on my heart lives on surrounding me

I promise I'll thank God that I finally got

Out of it

Let the music be my hospital room

Let the girls next door sing their gospel tunes

From a college dorm room I have not improved

I think we all live our lives with a lot to lose

Right here


And the best fears of our lives

Can all come true if we let them

When all our heroes have died

And we all become legends

The best fears of our lives will disappear when it's time

But I'll still love you when your parents die

And when my parents die

Yeah ill still love you when our parents die


We're taking the bridges we built and we're breaking them down

We were thieves of convenience store castles in paper made towns

Yeah our parents all broke up and one day repainted the house

And there were one too many days when I just wanted out

I just wanted out

These are the best fears

Of our lives


My grandfather's face looked like a grandfather clock

There in the hospital the whole family watched

As the student nurse fixed the medicine box

Because it was beeping all day

Now the pressure inclines

Forget the evidence I've never been the adventurous kind

Give me sentences

Send in a sensitive sense of denial

Let's not be selfish

We have the rest of our lives

To follow where our bucket lists will cave our ships

And know we died laughing when we break our ribs

With the dartboard shining where the brakecar kids

Turn to skeletons who only work in graveyard shifts

When we're overdue

Lying on our deathbeds painted gold and blue

We'll see the reason for the things we're going through

My grandfather says

This country beat a great depression and so can you


Nowhere's as perfect as places that wait to be found

I hide from the future instead does that make me a coward

So when I end up in a highwayside grave unannounced

I'll still believe that somehow someday we'll make it out

We will make it out

These are the best fears


Of our lives


These are the best fears of our lives


Now I need roses so I can bid farewell to what's passed away

Now I need roses so I can bid farewell to what's passed away
