lyrics

it comes in the front door
it’s quiet at night
and if you are sleeping
it will leave out the light
it’ll crawl in close
and hold on tight
and it’s a long hard road ahead

it’s fixing to linger
it’s fixing to stay
it’s fixing to bug me
‘til I’m up and away
I got woes and worries
to light the way
and it’s a long hard road ahead

I’ve got big ideas
and a train wreck in my head

I can remember
and I can be told
I was playing with fire
had my hand to the stove
I was breaking my heart
I was breaking the mold
I was breaking a sweat
standing out in the cold

keeping composure
I’m keeping it cool
even though I’m a senior
and I’m let out of school
there’s a parking lot
and the back lot rules
and it’s a long hard road ahead

what is a grown up
I’m lost in the chase
I’m starting to own up
I’m finding my pace
I know my heart
and I know my face
and it’s a long hard road ahead

let the grindstone go
put your nose to a rose instead

I can remember
and I can be told
that I’m playing with fire
got my hand to the stove
I was breaking my heart
I was breaking the mold
now I’m breaking a sweat
standing out in the cold

it doesn't get old

I come in the front door
I’m quiet at night
and if you are sleeping
I will leave out the light
I will crawl in close
and hold on tight
