[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I was a sheltered kid
But we hit each other with bats
We kept our heads in helmets
While constantly swatting gnats
Two feelings you can recall
Grip tape against our legs
And tossing orange felt balls cross-legged on carpet
The truth is there was more
Marb lights and Lebanese food
The fuzz of an uncle's arm
Spilling soda in the living room
[Chorus]
There weren't promises
It never felt like this
If everyone belonged here, it shouldn't feel like this
There weren't promises
It never felt like this
If everyone belonged here, it shouldn't feel like this
[Verse 2]
The truth is we dropped it all
Kept our fingers' tendons wrapped too loose above the curb
And everyone saw it snap
Your neighbor said it looked like something from the twilight zone
Now we're driving two hours away
With no tape player and a broken collar bone
