Down on Me

Lately I've been learning
Exactly who I am
Or maybe I've been lying
To myself again

So pass me that lighter
And we can light up the sky
And we can burn it
Twenty Fourth of July

She said, "do crickets even sleep?"
She wondered if they dreamed
I couldn't find the words
So I laughed and winked
Her innocence was sweet
I long to be that free
I've been wrong way living
Now I'm on my knees
I've been, losing sleep
I am, constantly
Caught up in the games
That's the industry
That's what she sold me
Got ahold of me
Instead of seeing stars
They look down on me

Down on me
Down on me

Lately I've been learning
Exactly who I am
Or maybe I've been lying
To myself again
So pass me that lighter
And we can light up the sky
And we can burn it
Twenty Fourth of July

Smoke's in the sky, let it fade away
Will you be the one to take my pain away
Don't give a damn what day it is
Most of us don't get a say in this
Clouds roll by, then they're on their way
Please be the one to take my pain away
Most of us won't get away with this
Don't give a damn what day it is

Played a kick ass show in my hometown
Back of a barn like a hoedown
Woke up, toked up, felt so nice
Ate breakfast, ate me some Ballreich's
I reminisced about different kids
Love when I'm home for these Tiffin gigs
Take some time to out to see the 'rents
Wish they knew how hard this is

Come real close and listen in
Let me tell you about my trouble
This will be my last stand
'Cause I'm about to crumble
This will be last my last dance
I'm floating in a bubble

That's what they told me
Got ahold of me
Instead of seeing stars
They looked down on me

Down on me
Down on me
Down on me
Down on me
