[Verse 1]
One from East St. Louis with a scar beneath his eye
Left the kitchen spotless on the day he said goodbye
Breakaway republic dude, supremely filthy mouth
Copiah, Mississippi; points much further south
[Chorus]
It's never light outside yet
When they climb into the van
Remember at your peril
Forget the ones you can
[Verse 2]
Leave home feeling empty, change planes in Taipei
Stay awake the whole timе, end up several worlds away
Thе house was almost full that day, they made a space for you
This world is sad and broken, gotta fix a crack or two
[Chorus]
Rest until you're rested
Climb back onto the caravan
Remember at your peril
Forget the ones you can
[Bridge]
And then just when you think you've learned how to forget
You learn it's just the ones who haven't risen to the surface yet
One from East St. Louis with a scar beneath his eye
Left the kitchen spotless on the day he said goodbye
Breakaway republic dude, supremely filthy mouth
Copiah, Mississippi; points much further south
[Chorus]
It's never light outside yet
When they climb into the van
Remember at your peril
Forget the ones you can
[Verse 2]
Leave home feeling empty, change planes in Taipei
Stay awake the whole timе, end up several worlds away
Thе house was almost full that day, they made a space for you
This world is sad and broken, gotta fix a crack or two
[Chorus]
Rest until you're rested
Climb back onto the caravan
Remember at your peril
Forget the ones you can
[Bridge]
And then just when you think you've learned how to forget
You learn it's just the ones who haven't risen to the surface yet
