Monday Lyrics

Rocks in knees and dying trees

I grew up in that light

Dirt in my shoes

Overhearing the news

Could never sleep at night

Blue cars in parking lots

First kiss out on the driveway

Michael's in the front seat he dropped me off

Hopped the train on the Heaven Railway

How do you know when to move on when you're stuck in the past?

Too many days full of "I wished they stayed"

I'm always falling way back

Maybe it's emotion that runs deep in my family line

I'm so tired of living in that time

Backyard steaks and man-made lakes

We'd swim until we drown

In Mom's old makeup and Dad's old sweaters

I still do all that now

Scouts Honor Trust, a middle school crush

We still talk to this day

With the high school journals and signed CDs

Still never made it to L.A.

How do you know when to move on when you're stuck in the past?

Coming in last

Too many days full of "I wished they stayed"

I'm always falling way back

Maybe emotion runs deep in my family line

I'm making peace with the past time

Happy meals, forever Strawberry Fields

I'm the oldest I've ever been

Vintage posters, but no sleepovers

In the basement where we'd sing

I got a few good friends and U-turn dead ends

We can't be cool forever

Once you said "we all bleed red"

Monday, can we sit together?
