lyrics

come back, kid, come back

should've noticed that the sky was getting late
better brace yourself for knuckles on your pate
better watch your back while you're getting home
'cuz the man's got eyes right in your camera phone

come back, kid, come back

called in sick you might've told a little lie
but there ain't no need for needles in your eye
getting beat and it's got you dressing down
you got the world inside you can roll a pretty frown

come back, kid, come back

so this is where you're at, what colors do you see
are we lost between the stars or at the bottom of the sea
are you really falling in, getting swept up by the breeze
that's pouring all around us plucking rhythms from the trees

every moment I am learning how to die
it's a cold gray world and a heavy chested sigh
it's the piece of trash you been kicking 'round the block
when the ground falls through you're sinking like a rock

come back, kid, come back

so this is where you're at, what colors do you see
are we lost between the stars or at the bottom of the sea
are you really falling in, getting swept up by the breeze
that's pouring all around us plucking rhythms from the trees
