You are my favorite miracleWhen the world finally ends, only then will our destinies doubt usWhen we spin off the edge of our steps and our couchesWhen just the hidden songs are left on our cassettes and our albumsCan we expect that something better surrounds us, when we exit our housesThe death of my childhood would unfold in notchesIt was a cave in social comet of a stolen promiseSo how'd we grow up but not grow up into who we said we'd grow upInto we said we knew some day we'd grow up beyond thisNow I'm as lonely as the town drunk, who only knows he's a manWhen he's holding a handful of SoCo and DanielsSitting at the bar calling all the colleges girls overTo sing him Billy Joel karaoke from a broken pianoI don't wanna end up just like him I'll keep on writing till me bookmark bendsI keep on writing till I lose all that's left of my good hard friendsUntil I've spent all the gold that had took our breatheIf only it matters I probably I take the loneliest stanceI miss unholy abandoned home to me we always will carry itWith the strength of an ocean it'll grow like soldiers in battleAnd looking back over my shoulder see the roads that we travelWithout the worst nights (nights)And my glory years (years)Without the holes in the rooftop we climbed onWithout the dead nights (nights)And the adventure life (life)Without the memories we never bet our lives onHow would I know whoever I amWithout the long drive to anywhere that we were always miles fromIf these are the best of times I don't want mine backThe glory years I always thought I'd have are hereSo for anybody who still feels they have the best years of their life left to liveI'm right there with youWe nicknamed our best friend Ghost for all the haunts he'd haveThere's more to life then the glory years that we thought we'd haveWe formed a pact for down the road in case we lost trackA dollar diner coffee calls and screen porch menthol packsIf you went up summer in an office selling car glassAnd I still live at home in five years lets get our mapsAnd tape 'em to the window seat we could travel north fastSmall town kids who learned to fight from our divorced dadsKnow the rules of separation like our palmsTired eyed of watching burning houses from our lawnsIf only we could find a wait and vacant distant summersAnd fall in deep enough love we'd make our parents miss each otherOne story starts for everyone that never made itI kissed my first girlfriend on an air mattress that levitatedI used to hate the ground thats roots and holes are bound to failBut making out in UFOs at the Orange County FairMade me feel like something from another world would save usOr some great tragedy would come along to turn my pagesMaybe I was waiting for a battlefield to earn my place inStill looking back at us the world can see we were courageousBut all our worry signs and torn up lives I won't ignoreFell in love too many times at least we got to know our floorsI don't plan to ever get the moments we were hoping forA couple years later fast forwardNow I know I won't try (try)I know I won't try (try)I will spend my whole life looking for an answer that I won't findNow I know I won't find it, damn right I won't find itImma take potential and bury it like I'm gold miningI'll take my pen and I'll press it and pray my penmanship resurrectsMy depressions, my friendships, my I'm in my own crisisBecause I'm only twenty-twoHow am I wishing for the wisdom that's been missing in collision with my old lifeI said I'm only twenty-two, how the fuck am I wishing for what's missing in an old lifeWithout the worst nightsAnd my glory years (Without the lows in the rooftops we dived fromWithout the dead nightsAnd the adventure lifeWithout the people that you never could rely onMan how would you know whoever you areWithout the long drives down the black midnight roads we almost died onThese are the best of times and I don't want mine backThe glory years I always swore I'd have aren't hereBut I got wrongs, I got roads, I got seams, I got long intermissions where I lost my feetI got my best friends behind yeah I brought my team, their in the background singing, Yeah that's all I needThe orange lights the ocean gasp and it's all a passive, my ... life flashes short enough to make my story lastThere's more to write then the pouring rain and the autumn grassThere's more to drive to then all the places you wanna crashThere's more to life then the glory years that you thought you'd haveBut I don't know where I amI'm just lost in my glory years
