Jordan White - A Kingdom Falls lyrics

rate me

Got myself a place and the first week I crashed on a floor

Got myself a place and the first month thought there'd be a little more

And nobody stops when they drive by when they see a light

Though they know I'm wide awake cause its the middle of the night

At nineteen, threw stones at her screen

Waiting on a street that was certainly mine

At twenty-four, just knocked on her door

And I drove down that road one more time

We said "never call past ten"

Cause the family was asleep

We would just meet in the road

Where the sidewalk met the street

So brother, did you hear mom put the house up for sale?

Hello sister, did you hear dad cancelled his mail?

Nobody told me it would take so long

For you to grow young

Nobody told me a minute is just a minute

For just about everyone

So brother, there's no need to worry about a new pair of hands

Let the old man decide himself if he'd rather sit down tonight

So tomorrow he can stand

And once there was a King high, high in a castle

We begged for his sword or his word - but he'd only send us away

And at last, with the wine he fell asleep

As the Queen packed up and moved away

Years later I found myself backing up dad's Chevy

He said "son I'd change it all if you'd let me"

But you trespass from now on

If you set foot on this land

But I go back again and again

To bring the sky out with my eyes

With the sun in my hand
