Hey, man

You think you could hold my jacket?

Think I wanna dance tonight

But find me before you go

Don't wanna ride home alone

I was a new kid in a rich town

Not a lot of friends around

But I found the only other one in the neighborhood

Our bond was unbreakable

Some people change, but we

Won't be everything that we could be

It's the pact that we made

Fits like cement shoes that looked good in our youth

The water's up to our necks now

We gotta get out

Don't wanna be your souvenir

I got my own way to go

And I hope I see you there

When the smoke clears

The inside jokes in new inner circles

Outside our old haunts made an outsider out of me

I saw how much it lit you up

To beat me down, beat me down, beat me down

So fly me like a fighter kite

I wish you'd cut my line and make it right

But I'm the crutch and I'm the sprain

It's a complex duality

Poison in the words you use

I grew up excluded and you press on the bruise

Breeze I feel within me

And it's taking me to places that I'd never believe, but I

Won't be everything that I could be

And I won't be everything that I should

Don't wanna be your souvenir

I got my own way to go

And I hope I see you there

I don't wanna be your trophy deer

Let go my rein and I'd remain

I don't wanna be your souvenir
