lyrics
Young ages and bottles
Looking back at those years on tapes
Taken by my father
I hope someday I can recreate them
We try to clear the air
But it only makes things cloudier
And it’s annoying but its fair
We know the rules; we don’t know all the players
Young ages and bottles
Looking back at those years on tapes
Taken by my father
I hope someday I can recreate them
But even when you find your heart
I’ll be looking for something to replace what was on my sleeve
And when you come back home
I’ll leave you alone, if you leave me alone
It’s like wet cement on a busy street
There’s always something new pulling down at my feet
And on the night that my brother won the lottery
I got struck by lightning
And when the storm comes back you’ll find me
Hiding underneath the tallest tree
Playing my numbers at every thunder
I’ll leave my hair in your bed
For a change, while yours turns grey
And I’ll leave the luck to my brother
I’ll stay out of it for now
Young ages and bottles
Looking back at those years on tapes
You look just like your father
A dirty mouth on a freckled face
And even when you find your heart
I’ll be looking for something to replace what was on my sleeve
Go on and find your own
I’ll leave you alone
Looking back at those years on tapes
Taken by my father
I hope someday I can recreate them
We try to clear the air
But it only makes things cloudier
And it’s annoying but its fair
We know the rules; we don’t know all the players
Young ages and bottles
Looking back at those years on tapes
Taken by my father
I hope someday I can recreate them
But even when you find your heart
I’ll be looking for something to replace what was on my sleeve
And when you come back home
I’ll leave you alone, if you leave me alone
It’s like wet cement on a busy street
There’s always something new pulling down at my feet
And on the night that my brother won the lottery
I got struck by lightning
And when the storm comes back you’ll find me
Hiding underneath the tallest tree
Playing my numbers at every thunder
I’ll leave my hair in your bed
For a change, while yours turns grey
And I’ll leave the luck to my brother
I’ll stay out of it for now
Young ages and bottles
Looking back at those years on tapes
You look just like your father
A dirty mouth on a freckled face
And even when you find your heart
I’ll be looking for something to replace what was on my sleeve
Go on and find your own
I’ll leave you alone
