lyrics

Oak Knoll was erased by super cell winds while we were away
Granting us pass through confusion and FEMA trucks
Williams Dr, Shady Side, Country Club, I grew up
I know the path that it made
I know the lives that it changed
We grew up here, we grew up here

Remember the day
Men in white suits took your clothes and your afternoon
Afraid of elevated heavy metals in your lungs
There we were, trapped in the high school gymnasium
An image that etched in my mind
I’ll always remember you as the child you were

We all have a long way to go
We all have a long way to go
13 years from now
The stories will be told
But we got this
We’ve always had it so good

From across the hall
Teacher locks eyes with a girl and he falls
In love with a life he could never have for his own
Evening drives hiding his pain in her body
God knows it’s happened before

Writing in red ink
Giving me money
To take her to the movies
And make her feel like she’s the only one

We all have a long way to go
We all have a long way to go
When we’re dead and gone
What cases will go cold
If no one testifies
Then no one ever knows
When we’re dead and gone
What cases will go cold
If no one testifies
Then no one ever knows
When we’re dead and gone
What cases will go cold
If no one testifies
Then no one ever knows
