Jesse Malin - Almost Grown lyrics

rate me

My parents split up in the first grade<br />

My father never did come back<br />

My sister liked John Travolta<br />

But I wanted Billy Jack<br />

<br />

Throwing things off of the rooftops<br />

40 buildings all the same<br />

My mother took a job as a waitress<br />

Swimming in the divorce age<br />

<br />

When you're all alone<br />

And you're all alone<br />

When you're all alone and you're almost grown<br />

<br />

Me and Holly snuck into night clubs<br />

The politics of punk rock church<br />

We were so idealistic<br />

But somehow only saw the worst<br />

<br />

When you're young and violent sick and silent<br />

Hoping just to be admired<br />

Water seeks it's level of pain<br />

And you're all alone<br />

And you're all alone<br />

And you're all alone<br />

And you're almost grown<br />

<br />

Some old friends retired too<br />

But they still laugh about me and you<br />

<br />

My mother's ashes went into the ocean<br />

Scattered on a windy day<br />

She used to like Frank Sinatra<br />

Cigarettes and JFK<br />

<br />

Some retired some expired some were meant<br />

To be admired for a moment at a young age<br />

But I don't care what they say others went and got away<br />

I just want to see her again<br />

<br />

When you're all alone<br />

When you're all alone<br />

When you're all alone<br />

You're almost grown<br />

When you're all alone and your heart is stone
