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
