Jordan White - A Kingdom Falls lyrics
rate meGot 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
