Lyrics
Found this old box, And the keys to its lock,
Just my past that lives there inside .
The things that I feel, live on dusty reels
projecting on back of a wall
They're silent movies, But they scream back at me
And I still remember that birthday
I can taste still the cake
Smell the curtains, see your face
Sparking candles burning bright,
Close my eyes, and wish tonight
That I'd be a real live cowboy
You got me that new toy
Seem so real when they're on film
I'm older than you were then
I played this film all day and
Could I go back, for just day?
Yeah
You're looking 10 Foot Tall to me , on screen, Oh yeah.
Your blood was young
As we watched the sun
Set down for the night, so we can sleep
On those warm summer nights, fireflies we set our sights
You taught me how catch more than them
It's the map of the past
And the frames moves too fast
And the days don't stop for anyone
I can taste still the cake
Smell the curtains, see your face
Sparking candles burning bright,
Close my eyes, and wish tonight
That I'd be a real live cowboy
You got me that new toy
Seem so real when they're on film
I'm older than you were then
I played this film all day and
Can I go, cause, I'd go today.
Just for one more day
I see my daddy there
Wearing that old shirt
The one he tried to keep real clean
When working in the dirt
When the camera zooming in, it's time for your close-up
Waving right to the lensed, like I was looking in
Found that old box, I'll admit it was a lot
To unpack all those and days and the nights
But I'm left here with you
And the they may be few
But I'll always see that fire in your eyes
The birthday's come and go, and the film stock is real old
But you'll always wear the crown around here
