Staring at the dead leaves in the backyard pool Where did my life go? What a spectacular view All those old Irish songs at my grandfather's funeral Seventeen candles on a birthday cake Seems like yesterday Falling out of love and hard drugs Found my heart in Los Angeles I don't have any answers for you yet I'm still figuring out what I'm doing here Keep your home in your heart Keeps you out of the rain Don't let no sad songs rot your brain I hold the wheel while you light your cigarette Burning down the highway out of here My twenties slipping in my ears I've been killing myself just to know how to feel Laid out on my childhood bed To the sound of "Sam's Town" and my hands behind my head I don't have any answers for you yet I'm still figuring out what I'm doing here Keep your home in your heart Keeps you out of the rain Don't let no sad songs rot your brain Ask me again why I'm never really here Nothing hurts me, hell is in my head Ask me again why I'm never really here Nothing lives forever, but it lives in my head I don't have any answers for you yet I'm still figuring out what I'm doing here Keep your home in your heart Keeps you out of the rain Don't let no sad songs rot your brain Don't let no sad songs rot your brain Don't let no sad songs rot your brain
