There's an above-ground pool There in the backyard Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up Figured, if life really wished me well It would turn into a wishing well And all our suffering would go Too old at a damn young age Bedroom like a bird sung cage On a new couch with each new Christmas Won't somebody do these dishes? Sure as hell I was not the one To come around when it came undone Put second on a winter hit list All light just went missing Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one Cold nights, hard wind Came down in the yard and split Kin and timber Soul lay open Soul lay open
Eighteen when the madness stopped In love with the runaways' daughters Each one with the same damn name Took care of them, forgot me Sold gateway to friends who gone Took shrooms in the night, we formed a Oath we would never take for granted Each other, this future Strong roots but damn these limbs, out on one Cold nights, hard wind Came down in the yard and split Kin and timber Soul lay open
Soul lay open ♪ Kin and timber Bold, brave, the middle kid ♪ Ever since a child I've been soul searching
Soul lay open Soul lay open
Soul lay open
Soul lay open ♪ There's an above-ground pool There in the backyard Threw pennies in the whole time I was growing up Figured, if life really wished me well It would turn into a wishing well
