Boomerang
I remember as a child
Looking off of the rooftop
As I grew, the view got lost
But the clouds never seemed to stay
Stay
This, yes I know
That my blood maintains its flow
Even though I might not
I get caught in tunnel-vision
Single-minded thoughts
But the older I became
My view of life would change
Every lesson that's worth learning
Brought me pain
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past mistakes
Mistakes
Now I can say
There are times I've dodged the blame
I confess
It rolled back, it rolled back
Like a game
God, it made me sick
The way it hit when it all came
For the years that I've seen change
I've gone against the grain
What goes around
Comes back around again
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past, yeah
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
Stepping back doesn't make it right
Standing tall doesn't get you high
Doesn't get you high
Get you high
Doesn't get you high (doesn't get you high)
I forget, I forget
How the clouds move
I'm forgetting to view from above
I forget, I forget
How the clouds move after all
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past mistakes
Mistakes
Looking off of the rooftop
As I grew, the view got lost
But the clouds never seemed to stay
Stay
This, yes I know
That my blood maintains its flow
Even though I might not
I get caught in tunnel-vision
Single-minded thoughts
But the older I became
My view of life would change
Every lesson that's worth learning
Brought me pain
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past mistakes
Mistakes
Now I can say
There are times I've dodged the blame
I confess
It rolled back, it rolled back
Like a game
God, it made me sick
The way it hit when it all came
For the years that I've seen change
I've gone against the grain
What goes around
Comes back around again
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past, yeah
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
Stepping back doesn't make it right
Standing tall doesn't get you high
Doesn't get you high
Get you high
Doesn't get you high (doesn't get you high)
I forget, I forget
How the clouds move
I'm forgetting to view from above
I forget, I forget
How the clouds move after all
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past mistakes
Mistakes
