Now you left yourself there on the wall

Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete

Here on earth, the sun in the sky, between my teeth

Looking down, shaking some hand, older than mine

Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers

Choked up on the chic of having hair like Jesus

The flags are breezing with a brand new feeling

Expensive seats full of abandoned reason

The sun cries tears, and they land inside ya

You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah

That's when the world got involved and I woke up older

With the flag of surrender draped across my shoulder

Remember before?

When we cared about things like

Who was the tallest

Waiting 'round for the adults to stop talking

But they can't see past what absorbs them

When I grow up, I'll do it different

Tryna change the world by wishing

If I could have it all, whatever I liked

Just want everyone to be alright

To get a little respite from the night after night of it

I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight

I left myself there on the wall, looking up

At the pictures in the pebbledash, glistening bright

Listen, I might've drunk one too many years

'Cause when the sun sheds tears now

They set me alight

Now you left yourself there on the wall

Looking up, painted-on teeth, powdered concrete

Here on earth, sun in the sky, between my teeth

Looking down, shaking some hand, older than mine

Wants you to know everything that you feel, felt it before

Promises soar close to the sun, when all's said and done

I cherish it

Stitch a tear to a prayer

Fly it so they see

See it turn to sails that catch the wind

And follow it until it leaves

To joy of joys

Well, I remember the dealers keeping coins in the speakers

Choked up on the chic of having hair like Jesus

The flags are breezing with a brand new feeling

Expensive seats full of abandoned reason

The sun cries tears, and they land inside ya

You feel the fear where you once felt pride, yeah

Listen, I might've drunk one too many years

'Cause when the sun sheds tears now

They set me alight

I stitch a tear to my prayer and hold tight
