Sleepwalking (feat. Dylan Owen)

My mother made me who I am, she put a pen inside my hand
Said when it hurt, just use your words, then they'll understand
My father made me into a man, to build a world with my own hands
If it don't work, I'll watch it burn. I've got no other plans
'Cause good's just never good enough
I'll give it all, but I won't give it up
They said "keep dreaming," got my eyes sealed shut
I've never been so sure
What you get, ain't always what you want
I'll give it all, before I give it up
They said "keep dreaming," got my eyes sealed shut
I've never been so sure
So I'm sleepwalking through upstate New York, until I find what I've been looking for
So I'm sleepwalking through upstate New York, until I find what I've been looking for
Yo, I'm still sleepwalking. I still dream of you often
I still think about the rain that pours down on our neighborhood
Will these places shine, will the reflection give us guidance
As we walk these old streets like junior firefighters
Burn down our front porches, let's burn down our old houses
Kick our fences over, keep our souls grounded
This is for my local poets; this is where my journals started
I prefer "the great unknowns," I never liked the term emerging artist
For that kid who robbed the liquor store and turned to darkness
The ones who sold weed in school, now they trade tips on having perfect gardens
The ones who changed. the ones who bought their parents' house
I last saw them broken up at chelsea's, man they're married now
It's funny, 'cause I always wondered what became of them
As we get older, and we face our changing faces and our aching limbs
We pass my old best friend's house; I can't believe they painted it
Either nothing gold can stay, or I just really hate the shade of it
And that's why I always rush life out
If I get high tonight, I might pull the sun right down
'Cause everything is dark, when you're from a one light town
Yeah, everything is dark when you're the only one sleepwalking
So I'm sleepwalking through upstate New York, until I find what I've been looking for
So I'm sleepwalking through upstate New York, until I find what I've been looking for
I've been sleepwalking. Sleepwalking. Sleepwalking
'Cause good's just never good enough
(Good's just never good enough)
I'll give it all, but I won't give it up
(Give it all but I won't give it up)
They said "keep dreaming," got my eyes sealed shut
(Keep dreaming, got my eyes pealed shut)
I've never been so sure
(From sleepwalking)
So I'm sleepwalking through upstate New York, until I find what I've been looking for
So I'm sleepwalking through upstate New York, until I find what I've been looking for
Yo, I'm still sleepwalking. I still dream of you often
I still think about the rain that pours down on our neighborhood
Will these places shine, will the reflection give us guidance
As we walk these old streets like junior firefighters
Burn down our front porches, let's burn down our old houses
Kick our fences over, keep our souls grounded
This is for the people who don't forget where they're from
Everything is dark when you're the only one
