lyrics

It's hard to be taken seriously in a generation of 'you're all better than me.'
No one recognizes anything I do or think,
'there's no alluring sense in you, kid.'

We'll live our lives like Kerouac and Cassidy.
I'll find a like in everything surrounding me, cause
I was born northeast of nowhere
and I live under powerlines.

I hate to brag, but I'm proud of the life I have,
rollin out, open head. This is a story I've written since I was born,
and up yours if you think that's close to over.
Especially if you wanted our shoulders to the wheel.
Since 2011 we been keepin' it real.
It's too late if you thought this was the last time,
we're fireworks setting off in the middle of the night.

To coincide with the time which we never seem to know, or pay attention to. And on account of broken clocks and carelessness I'm always feeling late for something.
We'll cut the locks, no keys.
These traditions always be with me, cause
there's people, there's places that I'd never see
the same alluring sense of me in.

Like the backyard, or the front porch.
I'm just glad that I said, I'm coming over again.

We were born northeast of nowhere,
and we live under powerlines.
