lyrics

My one and only, lost and lonely
Taste of old Brooklyn
A knock on the door, a season before
The upper crust moved in
Lottery billboards, rebel guitar chords
Songs of fire and teeth
Living a new life, subway at midnight
A tourist in the world around me

This could take a whole lot longer
This could take a year or two
I wish I was so much stronger
I wish I had less to prove
This could take a whole lot longer
This could take a year or two
I wish I was so much stronger
I wish I had less to prove

Before you begin, let’s call this a win
Let’s call this a victory
We found a place where we can escape their
Hillbilly history
Some are winners, some beginners
We all move underground
Surrounded by fine wine, one-percent swine
Tell me where the gold is now

This could take a whole lot longer
This could take a year or two
I wish I was so much stronger
I wish I had less to prove
This could take a whole lot longer
This could take a year or two
I wish I was so much stronger
I wish I had less to prove

They know what’s best
Overtures of unrest
Feel your walls start crumbling
Dressed to impress
Methods have their madness
Vain displays are humbling

This could take a whole lot longer
This could take a year or two
I wish I was so much stronger
I wish I had less to prove
They can say whatever they want to
They can say whatever they please
I wish I was so much stronger
To stay there when you leave
