The Greatest Ones Alive

What did we use to say

The days we walked home in the rain

Down the tree-lined streets

Past the corner and green

We were Vikings in the woods

We had ships in our eyes

We had the future planned out

It was so damn bright

Now the streets have grown more bitter

I hear more empty words

to make time pass by

I talk to the birds

Trying not to fear

Stumble till I fall

Pollution alcohol

I find my place in it all

Lately I've been hoping, you give me a call

Sorry it's been a while, since you heard from me at all

But it's getting harder just to pick up the telephone

When things come up and I feel alone

So I fall, I fall

I've grown so tall but now I fall

What did we use to say

When everything was still a game

We give personas to our bikes

and make up lovers' names

Till we believe

We were the greatest ones alive

Before these heavy storms

Before we started growing up

I want to feel things grow new now

I got lots more life before I die

So let's dig some holes deep in the ground

For the demons, let's settle this to set our blood

Cause my fire's still burning bright

My fire's still burning bright

My fire's still burning bright

Lately I've been hoping, you give me a call

Sorry it's been a while, since you heard from me at all

But it's getting harder just to pick up the telephone

When things come up and I feel alone

Lately I've been hoping, you give me a call

Sorry it's been a while, since you heard from me at all

But it's getting harder just to pick up the telephone

When things come up and I feel alone

So I fall, I fall

I've grown so tall but now I fall

I've grown so tall but now I fall
