Lyrics
Take your name
Say it loud
That?s who you?ll be till
You die in this town
Take a pill
Swallow whole
That?s where you?ll find your soul
Until you grow old
BUT IN A WHILE
WE MIGHT SEE
THE GRASS GROW GREENER
AND IN TIME
WE JUST MIGHT
START TO BELIEVE IT
SO LET THE RAIN COME
Know your dad
You?ll find yourself
Until you break the chains
That hold you down
But the wheel
Can?t steer clear
Of this wreck
You would be leaving here
BUT IN A WHILE
WE MIGHT SEE
THE GRASS GROW GREENER
AND IN TIME
WE JUST MIGHT
START TO BELIEVE IT
SO LET THE RAIN COME
I have seen the smile leave your face
I have seen you grow sick of this place
I could say I don?t care I could say I don?t mind
I could say I could walk away but would they all be lies
I want to watch you
Break down, break down, break down, break down
Just like me
Take your name
Say it loud
What?s it even mean
When you finally spell it out?
