Spent the summer like a child
Hum from houses all the while
Sang a song with some sparrows
On a dark stretch of road
For someone's sake to suffer us
(All along)
Through the heat and hangar dust
(We're not wrong)
Stay and watch the morning red
I've seen it before
The blanks to be drawn and filled
Clap instead of keeping still
Even if you had to, you'd think twice
Brother, why keep counsel
With the sleepers and the shadows?
They took our money for a room
You might just never find me here
Pressed against a beating drum
(All along)
A pulse to keep our anxiousness
(You're not wrong)
In your fingers and your breath
You've seen it before
The dark vault above this roof
So what if you're not fireproof?
Even though you're up there you've made us too
Once you leave the tree alight,
The kids will watch it through the night together
And once it's out, you ought to know
The kids will be the heroes forever
