lyrics

When I come home
The street signs won't read the same
It's the path I will choose
Can't you just be happy for me?

I've climbed every peg, I've glanced to each side
I've seen them dead end, I've watched them die
Their dreams are dead, the black can't be white
Their dreams are dead, the black can't be white

I'm not scared to admit that I'm scared
I promise if I ever make it home
The nerves will chill to the bone

I've climbed every peg, I've glanced to each side
I've seen them dead end, I've watched them die
Their dreams are dead, the black can't be white
Their dreams are dead, the black can't be white

Let's say this life chose me
Don't clip me, bird without a wing
Let's say this life chose me
Don't clip me, bird without a wing

I'm not scared to admit that I'm scared
I promise if I ever make it home
The nerves will chill to the bone

The nerves will chill to the bone
To the bone
