Never Happen to Me

Never happen to me
I got the world on my shoulders
I'll never grow old
Like my parents before me
I know all their mistakes
And I won't bend under the weight

And the TV's on
But nobody's watching cause everybody fell asleep
And the door is wide open
The rain is falling, it's coming in through the screen
We got our feet in the sand
But only in our dreams, cause we can't afford it
I thought that they'd never leave
But now my daddy is dying, my mother refuses to speak

It'll never happen to me
I've got the world on my shoulders
I'll never grow old
Never happen to me
I've got the world on my shoulders
I'll never grow old

I see her looking at me
She can still live in the moment cause she doesn't know yet
All the things that will be
I want her to stay perfectly safe from the hurt of this world
It's rising like the sea
I see it swallow my friends, I don't know where it ends but they
Seem to wake from their dreams
Only to want to lie down and go back to dreaming again

It'll never happen to me
I got the world on my shoulders
I'll never grow old
Never happen to me
I've got the world on my shoulder
I'll never grow old
