I read a book about a man like me, written by a fool

It said, "I see through your eyes, my boy, and what you do, you'll do"

I've built my life on the backs of better men than you, like you

The blood in my veins ran blue

Hold on, would you stay right here?

Find comfort in my skin

Slow down, I'm making a big mistake

From the state I'm in

We've misplaced all the stones we laid down, right here

Remember how they held something still and near?

My daddy's eyes look out from my son's little face

And they're still blue, still blue

Darker days are the roads that we've made back here

Hold on, would you stay right here?

Find comfort in my skin

Slow down, I'm making a big mistake

From the state I'm in

Hold on, would you stay right here?

Find comfort in my skin

Slow down, I'm making a big mistake

From the state I'm in

Looking back on the years that we'll spend, I'll just wait until

Darkness descends at the end of every end, plain and cruel

I'll give in too, I just can't tell you when, I'm on my way downhill

I hope you feel the sun through the wind, I will

I will
