- Gone

 

All the way back home again
Before boys grew into men
Little budding astronauts
Making due with what we've got
Now we're on the other side
Trying to fit our heads inside
Rooms that felt so big back then
Now they fit inside our hands
So many treasures buried here
Rooms that all have since been cleared
Houses and now parking lots
Cover our old hiding spots
I didn't know what i'd find
I didn't know what i'd find in here

All of it is gone . . .
Escaped in a submarine underneath the stars
It's gone . . .
Memories like battleships exploding in the dawn
The lines that we've drawn
Stretching so long
All of them are gone

My stomach needs a parachute
I knew i shouldn't take this route
It's better in the rearview
You barely see the things you lose
Home is never coming back
I see the things i never lacked
It's covered now in neon lights
The purity of something white
I didn't know what i'd find
I didn't know what i'd find in here

All of it is gone . . .
Escaped in a submarine underneath the stars
It's gone . . .
Memories like battleships exploding in the dawn
The lines that we've drawn
Stretching so long
All of them are gone

Give me a slow release
A needle filled with peace
A firecracker sounds
Way above the clouds
I'm calling all my friends
To say hello again
Before they pack me in
Between two bookends, two bookends

Before everything is gone . . .
Escaped in a submarine underneath the stars
It's gone . . .
Memories like battleships exploding in the dawn
The lines that we've drawn
Stretching so long
Where did we go wrong?
Where did we go wrong?
All of them are gone
