There's a fear of growing older, there's a fear of what I've done
Fear of all the things I told her when I feared what I'd become
Breathe out and go slow; sun-soaked mind with a magnifier
Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire
No career and never wiser
No career; master of none
A life nobody chose despite the rules you set when you were young
Shouldn't ever have a thought about;
The things you love, the things you've done
Couldn't ever clear your mind of all
The things you lost, they came undone
With all the time you thought you had
You hooked the bait, you set the trap
Breathe out and go slow; sun-soaked mind with a magnifier
Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire
Burn down your whole home;
Stop the words flowing through the wire, woah
And throw away your telephone, throw away your telephone
Another year your blood runs colder
Still unclear where it went wrong
With the chip that's on your shoulder,
Keep on singing along to the same old song
With all the time you thought you had
Breathe out and go slow;
Sun-soaked mind with a magnifier
Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire
Burn down your whole home;
Stop the words flowing through the wire, woah
And throw away your telephone, throw away your telephone
We're staring down a loaded gun,
But it's the fact that we won't run
Staring back at me, staring back at me
Shouldn't ever have a thought about;
The things you love, the things you've done
Couldn't ever clear your mind of all
The things you lost, they came undone
Would you ever have a thought about the
Ones you love; the things they've done?
Could you ever clear your mind of
All the ways you are your father's son?
Breathe out and go slow;
Sun-soaked mind with a magnifier
Caught the smoke, we ignored the fire
Burn down your whole home;
Stop the words flowing through the wire, woah
And throw away your telephone, throw away your telephone
