The Streets (feat. Alaska Sun)

And on the day they name the streets
They’re gonna right us down in history for all our missing parts
And all our chipping teeth
All our hidden scars and all our injuries
For how we still smiled when we were incomplete
Cause yesterday morning I fought sleep
On a bed in New York where the floor creaked
And Imma climb up to my roof and see the view from it is proof that really
nothing is as broad as it all seems
From the volcanoes in our chests
Exploding situations we were patient to accept
Quotes from broken novels we loved but will forget about
Where the saddest characters alive who left the endings out
I can’t flinch the problem with looking back is
The place you wanna lay and drift
yeah but the fact is someday I’ll move on from this
In 20 years of life and only be a story I tell to my grand-kids
When we come home
They’ll name the streets after us
I don’t think we’ll come home till the streets light up
Will you remember me
Will you remember me
(Yeah)
When we come home
They’ll name the streets after us
And on the day they name the streets they’re gonna right us down in history
Getting over the trials
Coated smiles and photo piles
Be open your open and tired
From riding so many miles
Here’s to the holy souls of
Golden diner unspoken novelists
Stoned in closets
Broken home revivalists
With smokin hands we’ll stand there holding rockets
Look I’ve felt them too and we can mend this broken process
Let’s hope they close the roads and drive us home tonight
Before we turn to ghosts who won’t describe how lonely getting old has gotten
And that’s all that it was
A couple scrap book entries in the songs that we love
From our accidental roads
And my deep misunderstandings
My helicopter parents i was not prepared for landing
Till your ash tray dries in these bad news times
Till the feathers in our tattoos fly
Till my little brothers learn how to lie
Here’s to all the things we haven’t done
I’ll stay up all night with you like the Alaska sun
When we come home
(Yeah)
They’ll name the streets after us
(They'll name the street)
But I don’t think we’ll come home till the streets light up
(Till the streets light up)
Will you remember me?
(Yeah)
Will you remember me?
(Yeah)
When we come home
They’ll name the streets after us
And on the day they name the streets
They’re gonna write us down in history
When we come home they’ll name the streets after us
I don’t think we’ll come home till the streets light up
Will you remember me, will you remember me
When we come home they’ll name the streets after us
A lot of things are different now
But I’m still trying to come to terms with the fact there’s so much left to
discover
And so much left to see that’s something I’ll always remember
On the day they name the streets
