I remember as a child looking off of the rooftop
As I grew the view got lost, but the clouds never seemed to stay
This yes I know, that my blood maintains its flow, even though I might not. I get caught
In tunnel vision single minded thoughts
But the older I became, my view of life would change
Every lesson that's worth learning brought me pain
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I’m learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past mistakes
Now I can say there are times I've dodged the blame
I confess it rolled back, it rolled back
Like a game
God it made me sick the way it hit when it all came
For the years that I've seen change
I have gone against the grain
What goes around comes back around again
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I’m learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past yea
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
Stepping back doesn't make it right
Standing tall doesn't get you high
Doesn't get you high
Get you high
Doesn't get you high
I forget I forget how the clouds move
I'm forgetting the view from above
I forget I forget how the clouds move after all
I hope we get what we deserve
A little taste of what we were
I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
Owning up to our past mistakes
