I was born the careful son I had caution inside my bones Still every day, I question where we are, And who we want to be Hold the liens, hold the lines over me Dear Mom and Dad, I've died, here's what it means to me Left the faith, fell in love, with the ones who had to beg It's all been staggered time, I'll find myself along the way We've got the sound of money, and we do what we like We live by the ocean because we know what's right I'm ready to pay, I'm ready to pay Fold and walk away Keep me in mind when you reach the shore And you're trapped beneath my weight Kept at bay, kept at bay Over truth you just can't take At arm's length, at arm's length Over our hands and under our hearts
