| I think it was 1999
|
| That seems about right
|
| Right where Maple and 8th Street collide
|
| I think it was at that place and time
|
| We came to decide the next ten years of our lives
|
| I feel there were reasons why
|
| 'Cause I think we felt lost sometimes
|
| In overcrowded high schools we’re just getting by
|
| So Brian sings «I am my own mountain, I
|
| Feel like I’m waiting for my time, my time.»
|
| Hey, we’re complicated
|
| There’s tables full of records and homemade zines and
|
| Hey, we’re underrated
|
| And no, we weren’t changing the world
|
| It was the world to me
|
| In about six years we’d evolved
|
| And centered it all
|
| Right on second where Mitchell left off
|
| It was a cold October fall
|
| VFW hall
|
| Singing songs while my friends sang along
|
| Some days the cops get called
|
| But no, we won’t knock this off
|
| We’re diving off of pool tables, we’re piling on
|
| And when we’re cleaning up, VFW Mike gets drunk
|
| He tells us about girls he got in Vietnam
|
| Best dude
|
| Hey, we’re complicated
|
| There’s tables full of records and homemade zines and
|
| Hey, we’re underrated
|
| And no, we weren’t changing the world
|
| It was the world to me
|
| This town sounds dead when I come through lately
|
| I can’t forget the ways he shaped me
|
| When I come back it’s like I’m singing
|
| «Last Chance Rhode Island» all over again |
