Don't tilt your head back your nose is bleeding
You just fell off the swing set, it's no worry
Kids get cuts and scrapes and bruises
It's part of growing up and learning
A year later training wheels are off
You've almost got it wobbling down the block
'Til a pothole sends you straight into a tree
Dad runs over drops down to his knees
Are you alright?
It's just a little blood
Yeah you're alright
Tears begin to flood

We eat alone
Me and dad
We microwave whatever’s in the fridge from yesterday
We feel alone
With mom upstairs
The tension fills my stomach up and I'm stuck in my head
I don’t care, I say
In the basement I play
Video games
To clear my head
It's not fair, I think
But it's what I have
To sing
Today
It's not ideal
But it works
I still wake up everyday
Still wake up everyday
I'm not sad
but I'm not smiling
As much as
other kids to

At least I'm not the middle child
The one who is easily forgotten
Just the baby thrown into the world
After Mark had graduated school
An after thought to say the least
They just got their lives back finally
Why throw me into the mix
Must have been an accident
Why am I here?
The question bothers me a bit
They don't want me here
Sleep it off, revisit it
At least I have my bedroom
My books, my games, my sanctuary
A place with locks to escape to
My soft beige carpet that I collapse on
Laying here reading again
Got my feet propped up on my bed
I hear some yelling from the other room
Day to day it's nothing new

A thick gray haze masks my expression
My poker face is lame, I'm unenthused
Looking for more ways to pass the time
I'm coming up empty just falling short
I guess Tyler's basement's not so bad
I know a lot people that have it worse
That fucking thing you said when I turned 13
Didn't think id remember that now did ya
I'm better off now that I don't need you
Didn't want to grow up this fast but it just happens
I guess Tyler's basement's not so bad
I know a lot people that have it worse
I guess I'll just go buy some mousetraps and
God it feels so good to be alone

Large is riding his bike
Down his hometowns street
When the doorbell rings
Remember when we
Would watch this movie
Every Sunday night
She said I haven't seen your father in weeks
And it think it makes me happy
Can we try to go back
I wanna go back
Can we go back to then
Can't we try to go back
I'm dying to go back
Can we go back to then

How am I supposed to know, where I am supposed to go
I don't feel a need to be, in one place in particularly
Give me some space to breathe, turn around you'll hear from me
How am I supposed to know, where I am supposed to go

I'll try this again
For her own stability
Since mine is already
Too far from home
Mark sets the table
His wife carves the turkey
I'm sitting with my nephews
Hoping they would hurry
Mom whispers in my ear
I'm glad that you pulled through
I was counting on you
I pull away and run
Grab her keys and go
I'm out the drive way
There I go
I'm out the drive way
There I go
I'm out the driveway there I go
