Valley Tantrums

I miss fights over the remote
Interrupted by the home phone
That was covered in crumbs and goo
'Cause you grabbed it after eating food
I miss the flatter on your flushed cheeks
When I walked in on you singing
And you would have a new tantrum
Now I miss your tantrums

I hope you hide out on the top floor
And think of me when you get bored
While they've been teaching you to hate me
I hope you only learned to love me more
I hope that you'll still dream
After they've clipped both your wings

If we threw parties like we threw tantrums
We'd all be wasted in a big white mansion
The valley people've kept you quiet and distracted
So grab your things and escape through the canyon
Escape through the canyon

I bet you've never put a hole in their walls
Never been so scared of footfalls
On the other side of your door
After the valley girl claimed you swore
I bet heaven feels godless
And you've undiagnosed lovesick
'Cause they don't allow your tantrums
And you miss those tantrums
My sky's one hour younger
Clouds and planes are moving through it
But I'm still lookin' at the same moon
And I'm still thinkin' all about you
And how you got so abrasive when we started to grow up
And our veins are gettin' faithless but they're still carrying love
But I know I'll meet you down the road

I hope you hide out on the top floor
And think of me when you get bored
While they've been teaching you to hate me
I hope you only learned to love me more
I hope that you'll still dream
After they've clipped both your wings

If we threw parties like we threw tantrums
We'd all be wasted in a big white mansion
The valley people've kept you quiet and distracted
So grab your things and escape through the canyon

You ain't got time for dreams
You ain't got time to take a stand
You ain't got time for me
You ain't got time for them
You ain't got time to keep anyone close
Cause you're just bones
I want you home
But you can't fly here with those broken wings
And I can hear your silenced valley screams

If we threw parties like we threw tantrums
We'd all be wasted in a big white mansion
The valley people've kept you quiet and distracted
So grab your things and escape through the canyon
Escape through the canyon
Escape through the canyon
