There's an above-ground pool
There in the backyard
Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up
Figured, if life really wished me well
It would turn into a wishing well
And all our suffering would go
Too old at a damn young age
Bedroom like a bird sung cage
On a new couch with each new Christmas
Won't somebody do these dishes?
Sure as hell I was not the one
To come around when it came undone
Put second on a winter hit list
All light just went missing
Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one
Cold nights, hard wind
Came down in the yard and split
Kin and timber
Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Eighteen when the madness stopped
In love with the runaways' daughters
Each one with the same damn name
Took care of them, forgot me
Sold gateway to friends who gone
Took shrooms in the night, we formed a
Oath we would never take for granted
Each other, this future
Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one
Cold nights, hard wind
Came down in the yard and split
Kin and timber
Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Kin and timber
Bold, brave, the middle kid
Ever since a child I've been soul searching
Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Soul lay open
There's an above-ground pool
There in the backyard
Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up
Figured, if life really wished me well
It would turn into a wishing well
