Somewhere Past the Quiet

I saw you in your mourning

Because my room was just the same

Through imaginary walls of masking tape

And somewhere past the quiet

I think I,

I heard you growing up

And I, well

I don’t think

I’ll ever be the same

And Dad was there beside us

He’d sing us into dreams

Of good ole’

Blue and seen old roads

To die on

And river days of heat and haze

We’d run until the sun would fade

And he’d carry us up to our beds at night

CHORUS: And now we see this different angle

A second glance of life

In a world where fathers leave their boys

For the finer things

I can still remember laughing

So hard it hurts my heart

To think that we were just the lucky few

And all along

I never even knew

The light of day upon us

But now the scenery had changed

The Coventry was gone ‘fore noon arises

Just bigger boys with bigger toys

And separate rooms to stop the noise

And we, we’re still to young to know the finest call

But the holidays and candles brought the aging of our youth

The burning of all the innocence

Disguising all the truth

But our sunburned skin kept the taste of the salt

To fire the feelings we’d always fought

We’d found a new companion just ‘fore the fall

REPEAT CHO

RUS A season brought us back again

Just the three of us, alone

And if you ever see my heart fall again

Please pick it up, and bring it home

I saw you in your mourning

Because my room was just the same

Through imaginary walls of masking tape

And somewhere past the quiet

I think I heard you growing up

And I, well

I don’t think

I’ll ever be the same
