John Floreani
Penfold State Forest
[Verse 1]
Staring at a blue lined page trying to find the answers in ink
What would I leave behind if I was to die today?
But I'm strong enough to say that I have plenty of regrets
And maybe I can never change, my whole life will be a waste
[Verse 2]
What did I do with the years now that I'm pushing twenty-three
And I still can't tell the difference between the right and the wrong thing
How did I get so fucking good at hurting everyone I love?
Is that all I'll be remembered for?
[Chorus 1]
And I'm tired of writing sad songs 'cause that's all that I have left
And it's the things that I reflect on that make me who I am
[Verse 3]
It happened again, restless in my sleep
You woke me from a dream to say I'm not like my old man
And maybe that's what I'm so scared of
That I'll be no different
I'll bring someone into this life
And leave a scar they can't forget
[Bridge]
I ran my thumb over the faces in my old class photo
We were so innocent back then, if only I had known
And all those smiles staring back at me
Where the fuck did they all go?
What I would do for a clean conscience again
To swallow the lump that's in my throat
[Chorus 2]
'Cause I'm tired of writing sad songs 'cause that's all that I have left
And it's the things that I reflect on that make me who I am
And the first time we drove past Penfold State Forest
I felt the weight of another life leave my back finally
[Outro]
Is this all I'll be remembered for?
The scar they can’t forget
