Clear Eyes, Full Hearts, Still Lost

I hear the revelers tear
As they counted down
I pull the door closed
But it can't erase the sounds

So I put on a rival summer song
And lie awake wondering where it all went wrong
I think of California where we got burned, of
Carolina and all I've learned, of
Plans we've made and how they'll never be

So I go on, but I don't grow up
I just keep growing older
And they'll move on
Then forget my name
It'll all get painted over

So they pump up the kids with the big, big dreams
But, they don't say nothing 'bout what it means
To come up short
And hear the winter winds roar

Just cache it in boys, cache it in
Quit picking these fights you'll never win
Head due north to the Mighty Mac
Just run boys, run you can never go back, oh no

So I go on, but I don't grow up
I just keep growing older
And they'll move on
Then forget my name
It'll all get painted over

Burn fire in the backyard
And that's walking in the joy, just reach
But made me believe

So I go on, but I don't grow up
I just keep growing older
And they'll move on
Then forget my name
It'll all get painted over

So I go on, but I don't grow up
I just keep growing older
And they'll move on
Then forget my name
It'll all get painted over

So I go on, but I don't grow up
I just keep growing older
And they'll move on
Then forget my name
It'll all get painted over
