I know right now things don't seem bad

You don't understand what makes me so sad

Well, neither do I Hard as I try It alludes me

Please believe me when I say it ain't you

Nothing you said, nothing you can do

It's deep-seeded fears

From uncertain years

That haunt me

I grew up under a Falling Sky

Trying not to make waves

Try not to cry

Long summer days wound up so tight

Like a hundred degrees

Sittin' on dynamite

Uncertain years took their toll

Left behind this scared sad soul

Afraid of bad news And all

I could lose In an instant

Everyday I forget a little more

Let a few more ghosts drift out that door

There were minor crimes

But given the time

All's forgiven

We were sailing on an unsteady ship

Playing perfectly still so nothing would tip

So afraid and I all could think

Was that I'd be the weight

That'd cause this boat to sink

I grew up under a Falling Sky

Trying not to make waves

Try not to cry

Long summer days wound up so tight

Like a hundred degrees

Sittin' on dynamite
