Dad wakes you up to mow the lawn
You've got your ICP shirt on
Grass stains leave streaks across your shoes
"Man, do I have to?"
You're waiting in the parking lot
Your man is coming round the block
A crumpled $20 in your palm
And a few missed calls from your job
Did you see it happen?
Did you think the car would crash
With you in the backseat
Your head on her lap
Did you see it happen?
Did you think it'd all collapse
With you in the building
Flat on your back
Skinny fingers wrap around your wrist too tight
You say "we're the same height
So why are your hands
More capable than mine?"
A heart weighing down a scale
A snake swallowing his tail
The people that you used to hate
Make coffee and sort the mail
You learn to look girls in the eye
You find a girl to make your wife
You dance to Elvis covers
And you don't have more to want for
Did you see it happen?
Did you think the car would crash
With you in the backseat
Your head on her lap
Did you see it happen?
Did you think it'd all collapse
With you in the building
Flat on your back
Skinny fingers wrap around your wrist too tight
You say "we're the same height
So why are your hands
More capable than mine?"
