I started out small But I know I'm getting bigger As big as I am I'm still not very tall But I'm getting bigger now Much larger than I could imagine And soon I can see past the tops of these trees Well i know that it's hard to be a big ape But the thought of exploring a new land makes me salivate So will I stay here at home Where at least I know I'm safe And I'll never have to worry I guess that's just okay with me So here I am I'm liked by all of my new friends They're pretty cool but I still feel so alone But then there's this girl Much cuter than I could imagine And all I can think is that she's gotta be for me Well i know that it's hard to be a big ape But the thought of being without her is just more than I can take So will I stay here at home Where at least I know I'm safe And I'll never have to worry I guess that's just okay with me Yeah, I guess that's okay with me Now I'm chained up Displayed for all of the world to see I'm all alone and I admit that I am scared I want to break free But it isn't home where I want to be All that I want is for her to be with me Well i know that it's hard to be a big ape But I'm hoping by climbing this building it will lead to my escape So will I stay here at home Where at least I know I'm safe And I'll never have to worry I guess that's just okay with me

So Here I Hold Another empty page from The calendar we made ourselves Of things we'd like to do And places that we'd like to see But all that's here are squares and numbers Can't stop now, we've almost made it How many times can we keep saying that Maybe tomorrow will be the day it all starts rollin' back our way But this time It's almost over You sounded so sure That it's almost over Yeah, just like a million times before It's boils down To our own fear of failing The pros and cons we wrote ourselves Just fill these lists And never end up anywhere Except in the bottom of trashcans Can't stop now, we've almost made it How many times can we keep saying that Maybe tomorrow will be the day it all starts rollin' back our way But this time It's almost over You sounded so sure That it's almost over Yeah, just like a million times before Now somehow this man Who is made out of glass Is expected to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders again But he'll carry it proud As he crumbles and cracks He knows There is always a path harder traveled A beckoning of hope from far away A call to bring about our struggles and lay them down to rest For once This is the start of something better I can finally see it was all worth it Clawed our way back from hell Still can't believe we actually made it out alive Now that we're here we'll never go back No matter what it takes I'd rather die right here, right now like this than Waste another day It's finally over You've never sounded so sure That it's finally over And we can find our light once more Just like a million times before

Blacked Out Drunk On the roof of the movie theater Every stair climbed is a pain in my knees now Every fence that we hopped I can feel when I wake up and crack my back It all starts flooding in Who thought that it was a good idea to leave any of us unsupervised? Or much less let us drive a fuckin’ car We we’re so dumb We spent the better part of twenty years being too big for our britches Pulling out all our own stitches against doctors’ advice We thought, no we knew, we had it all figured out How about those stupid grown up kids? There goes John In the back of a cop car again I can’t believe that we are all still alive somehow Well, some of us more than others It’s a damn shame It all starts flooding in All the paths that branched off from the same roads And streets And truck stop parking lots every night Every single night We spent the better part of twenty years being too big for our britches Pulling out all our own stitches against doctors’ advice We thought, no we knew, we had it all figured out How about those stupid grown up kids? Every second of back then I can feel in my bones now We spent the better part of twenty years being too big for our britches Pulling out all our own stitches against doctors’ advice We thought, no we knew, we had it all figured out How about those stupid grown up kids?

You're such a good boy, good boy, good boy, good boy You're such a good boy, good boy, good boy, good boy You're such a good boy, good boy, good boy Please get off of the couch

Ammo in a cartridge What's it gonna take to be a marksman You still don't know So tell me why your barrel's cold? To get a grip I just let go Don't ever stop Face to face with Antagonizing confrontations With nothing left to lose And everything to prove A sensation, I get I just can't quite place it This could all end soon Let that set the mood Like a light turned down low Let's get lost on a less traveled road Like lonely ghosts that don't know which way's home It's not that place that I left when i got old Amused and slightly confused What you do makes me feel immune To attack Sifting through the aftermath I could almost not come back But I digress Grasp a concept Making sense of things I don't get This could take few And I'll get back to you Na na na na, na na, na na na na na na Yeah, now it's all on you Let that set the mood Like a light turned down low Let's get lost on a less traveled road Like lonely ghosts that don't know which way's home It's not that place that I left when i got old It's gonna take some type to rebuild all the confidence you had Jumping hurdles in your mind to somehow bring that feeling back It's been buried so far down it sounds impossible I know But it's time to put your finger on that trigger let it go Let that set the mood Like a light turned down low Let's get lost on a less traveled road Like lonely ghosts that don't know which way's home It's not that place that I left when i got old
