Tarnished Trumpet Lyrics

There's a tarnished trumpet somewhere in my parents' house

Remnant of a dream that was real

Someday I'll start that ska band

Nine friends packed in a van

On hold for the last fifteen years

There's a tarnished trumpet somewhere in my parents' house

There's days I think of getting it back

But I'm out of practice

Time and space, I lack this

And I'd have to buy a mute that's not cracked

Where did your tarnished trumpet go

Everyone's got their tarnished trumpet

Everyone's got their childhood drum

Gave up on your plans and

The dreams we've abandoned

Stuffed down and forgotten and numb
