I was thinking out loud In language I could not decode Checkpoints on the turnpike Academicizing my soul If I turn this feeling off Does that count as control? Too young to trust progress Too scared to be old It's a pretty free world Don't mind the smell of smoke It's an easy good time If you overlook the things we broke It's a champion's ring Just forget the signs we stole I'm banging on a trashcan, tryna get you home Tryna get you home Tryna get you home It's a desert assault A butter knife at your throat Young lambs on the runway Gotta sacrifice a few more If I don't believe the word Does that make me feel whole? Too tired for the night watch Can't sleep in a foxhole We were on the right track Couldn't let the rest go So we were tryna cheat time Now watch the past laid low It's a medalist's run Forget the pain you owe I'm banging on a trashcan, tryna get you home Tryna get you home Don't you know I do it 'cause I love you And I don't trust you to love me too Don't you know I'm just angry like a father Mad that I'm not like you Not yet hurt By the darkness all around you Let me take care of you A gilded cage A told-you-so I'm banging on a trash can, tryna get you home Tryna get you home Tryna get you home
