Lyrics
They told me
They told me happy graduation from the life you used to live
They said «I know it’s been a while, but I’m betting on you kid»
I’ll burn that bridge down, yeah
I’ll burn that bridge right down.
Until our bodies hit the water and we feel it in our lungs
Until we dive into the colors of the people we become
I’ll burn that bridge down, yeah
I’ll burn that bridge right down.
Until I’m no longer in pain over the man I’m gonna be
Until my little brother drives the night out with the prom queen
I’ll tear my ribs out, yeah
I’ll tear my ribs right out
Until Alaska’s sun is shining on the mountain top above the fall
Where the Village rocks are broken and New Jersey isn’t all
That you won’t miss now, no
No you won’t miss right now, now now now
Yeah until my shoulders lift us up as heavy as the sun
Well I got problems, I got problems
Yeah and so does everyone
But I won’t quit now, no
No I won’t quit right now.
Well if I live to see the day that we turn 25,
And I never should have made complaints, we’re running out of time.
I’m out of frame right now.
I’m out of frame right now, now, now.
You won’t be left out.
You won’t be left right out, out, out.
They told me don’t you give in on me bro,
You know you’re too smart,
I said I’ll burn all our bridges, our broken homes and our cars.
And I let those fires be the only pretty glow we guard,
And I’ll smile as I’m singing from this cold garage,
And read your bottom of a promise that I’m proud of
Then I wanna know that everything gold is gone.
They told me happy graduation from the life you used to live,
They said «I now it’s been a while, but I’m betting on you kid»
They told me happy graduation from the life you used to live,
They said «I now it’s been a while, but I’m betting on you kid»
I won’t quit now.
I won’t quit right now.
They told me happy graduation from the life you used to live,
They said «I now it’s been a while, but I’m betting on you kid»
I won’t quit now.
I won’t quit right now.
Happy graduation from the life you used to live.
