On

[Verse 1]
I felt your fields and how we ran in them
From all your friends, Michaela counts to ten
I think she's pretty
I heard a song in all your loveliness
Retreat to branches above rocky cliffs
They've called my name for decades
I heard it in a dream last night

[Verse 2]
You turned and smiled for a friend you knew
The sun retreated, now you're twenty-two
And trying to remember
The things that made you feel at home

[Verse 3]
I closed my eyes to see my name
Soft hands on my back
The ink absorbed into the grain
Remember standing there that day
I was beaming on my mountaintop
"Just look at what we've made."
I could barely whisper but it echoed on the lake
"I'm home."

[Verse 4]
But what's an end without a dinner bell
And parents screaming
"Andy what the hell!
You've got flowers in your hair."
"I swear that's just the way they fell!"

[Verse 5]
I craned my neck to see my name
One last time before I left
The cedar smelled the same
Remember standing there that day
I was shaking as they held me
I was born to feel this way
Meaghan's hand was on my shoulder
And I knew I couldn't stay

[Verse 6]
I was shaking at the thought of it, cursing on the steps and Chris was Quiet like you should be when the truth is sinking in
I could've sworn I had a few weeks to say a quick goodbye
I've never been too good at those though, anyway I think I'm fine Until I'm back up to my room, open the box of notes I kept and Bracelets. Phoebe texted me last night. I guess that I'm alright, it's Just that

[Outro x4]
Waking up, I'm back to that first day
Grass and gravel made me feel like things were gonna change
