Lyrics American Novel - The Brevet

American Novel

Feeling on the outside, inside my town
This place has turned me, upside down
Can’t find no shelter, when I need it most
No place to call home, no house to lend a host
Maybe it’s a darker, darker shade of light
Maybe its' always, always been that bright
And I was too close, too close to see
That there’s a darker, darker shade in me
When the world is spinning backwards
Is a moment too much to ask for
When this world is spinning backwards again, again
Too many rocks beneath the water
Keep swimming and wishing we were younger now
'Cause we keep on breathing but we’re farther
From the shore, then when we first started
Don’t need a fire, underneath my feet
When walking on wires, the ends are hard to meet
Can’t help but feel tied down, tangled up in life
Falling down and down while it passing us by
