Okay, I know it’s been a minute since we come along
The old house you were livin’ is now a synagogue
“Opah”, the hardest part of growin’ is the lack of a choice (Yeah)
I rode past that old bowling alley but now it’s a Vons
Rode past the O’Malley house and the family is gone
It’s cold now, but I’m highly evolved
So I don’t feel the cold in the car
I stop two blocks from the high school lot
On the corner every mornin’ where Denae got dropped
Pretty broad, momma caught up on the PTA
Sneak her off, ditch a class and go to CPK
But it’s A-okay
Still a markin’ from the tires where my old car crashed
Metal, glass, burnin’ rubber on my whole car dash
My boy sleep in the back, God damn it, another panic from your blow hard dad
Fuck around in the back of a Jeep
Run a muck in the street
Fall awake at the passenger seat, all aboard
That ship don’t sail like it did anymore, so
We’re goin’ back to the fireside
It’s been a long time, but we’re alright
We’re goin’ back to the fireside
It’s been a long time, but we’re alright
Well, it’s been so long and you’re still so neat
Hair still shine and you smell so clean
Romance those days when you passed back
Looks to me, horn-rim shades and advance class books
Walk my way in a plaid green skirt
Hide that stain on my band t-shirt
My friends all laughed when you grabbed my hand
Had young love and I lost that chance
Man, oh man, how the years slipped by me?
Up off the page with the devil behind me, oh
Good fuckin’ work
Another ten years at the tip of the iceberg
We’re goin’ back to the fireside
It’s been a long time, but we’re alright
We’re goin’ back to the fireside
It’s been a long time, but we’re alright
Okay, I know it’s been a minute since we come along
The old house you were livin’ is now a cinema
I’m not growin’ by decision or lack of a choice, yeah
But I remember the smoke blaze and namin’ the stars
Still remember the drunk fights that gave me the scars, all aboard
That ship don’t sail like it did anymore, so
We’re goin’ back to the fireside
It’s been a long time, but we’re alright
We’re goin’ back to the fireside
It’s been a long time, but we’re alright
Said
We might be better off for all those
Bruises and the scars
The times we missed the mark
That made me thick
We’re goin’ back to the fireside
It’s been a long time, but we’re alright
