Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Long day, high on the eye of the wave
Lean back, put the change in your pocket, playing games
But there's nothing at stake, so you let yourself slide
Now you're slippin' away, yeah, you're slippin' away
So all in, everybody's losin' 'cause there's nothin' to win
You are not what you've been
You are divided by what you could still be
And then subtracted from the pieces of ya that you still can't see
[Chorus]
You're chasin' the same thing
You buried in the backyard
Of the house you grew up in
A pinebox of nothin'
[Instrumental]
Scream out every song you ever heard
Be loud, if you don't know the words
Just say sorry 'til you're blue in the face
It'll make you feel the same way, full of that glorious shame
And don't wait to lock the door and talk to yourself
Before you know it, you'll be somebody else
Break in your mirror today
Start with, "Mister, I don't think you really told me your name
But god damn, good game"
[Chorus]
You're chasin' the same thing
You buried in the backyard
Of the house you grew up in
A pinebox of nothin'
A daydream of leaving
A place that's lived only
On pages for ages
Push back now, erase it
[Instrumental]
Don't try to replace it
[Instrumental]
Don't try to replace it
[Instrumental]
Don't try to replace it
[Instrumental]
Don't try to replace it
[Instrumental]
Don't try to replace it
[Instrumental]
Don't try to replace it
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh)
Don't try to replace it
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh-oh)
(Oh)
Don't try to replace it
[Outro]
You're chasin' the same thing
You buried in the backyard
Of the house you grew up in
A pinebox of nothin'
A daydream of leaving
A place that's lived only
On pages for ages
Push back now, erase it
