What you hear is what you get,
Skinned knees and eyes wet,
As the northern storm-clouds drift swiftly past the sun.

Where you've been not where you're from,
Who's your dad boy? And why did you think,
This would ever be easy.
It's not.

And you,
Are not the only one.
And you,
Are not the only one.

Smudge me me in, don't stand me out.
And either way, you know they're in no doubt,
That to ever be strong here,
You need ties 

And you,
Are not the only one
And you,
Are not the only one

We ran with our bags after school
Spent days, finding other fools.
Took sides, and played with ridicule
And they would only let you down,
Sometimes.

Pack your bags and travel south 
Pay your rent man, live hand to mouth,
and all that work in the schoolyard ain't foolin' anyone.

Canyon roads and torrid streams,
Off all the people you'll never meet,
And you know in that moment,
You'll be fine.

And you,
Are not the only one.
And you,
Are not the only one.

We drank with our glasses half full
Spent days, breaking all the rules.
Told lies and all the truths besides.
And I would only let them down,
Sometimes.
