Now you left yourself there on the wall
+
Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete
+
Here on earth, the sun in the sky, between my teeth
+
Looking down, shaking some hand, older than mine
+
Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers
+
Choked up on the chic of having hair like Jesus
+
The flags are breezing with a brand new feeling
+
Expensive seats full of abandoned reason
+
The sun cries tears, and they land inside ya
+
You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah
+
That's when the world got involved and I woke up older
+
With the flag of surrender draped across my shoulder
+
Remember before? When we cared about things like
+
Who was the tallest, waiting 'round for the adults to stop talking
+
But they can't see past what absorbs them
+
When I grow up, I'll do it different
+
Tryna change the world by wishing
+
If I could have it all, whatever I liked
+
Just want everyone to be alright
+
To get a little respite from the night after night of it
+
I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight
+
I left myself there on the wall, looking up
+
At the pictures in the pebble-dash, glistening bright
+
Listen, I might've drunk one too many years
+
'Cause when the sun sheds tears now, they set me alight
+
Now you left yourself there on the wall
+
Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete
+
Here on earth, the sun in the sky, between my teeth
+
Looking down, shaking some hand, older than mine
+
Wants you to know, everything that you feel, felt it before
+
Promises soar close to the sun, when all's said and done
+
I cherish it
+
Stitch a tear to a prayer
+
Fly it so they see
+
See it turn to sails that catch the wind, and follow it until it leaves
+
(To joy of joys)
+
Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers
+
Choked up on the chic of having hair like Jesus
+
The flags are breezing with a brand new feeling
+
Expensive seats full of abandoned reason
+
The sun cries tears, and they land inside ya
+
You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah
+
Listen, I might've drunk one too many years
+
'Cause when the sun sheds tears now, they set me alight
+
I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight
