Fireside

[Verse 1] Okay, I know it's been a minute since we come along The old house you were livin' is now a synagogue "Opah", the hardest part of growin' is the lack of a choice (Yeah) I rode past that old bowling alley but now it's a Vons Rode past the O'Malley house and the family is gone It's cold now, but I'm highly evolved So I don't feel the cold in the car I stop two blocks from the high school lot On the corner every mornin' where Denae got dropped Pretty broad, momma caught up on the PTA Sneak her off, ditch a class and go to CPK But it's A-okay Still a markin' from the tires where my old car crashed Metal, glass, burnin' rubber on my whole car dash My boy sleep in the back, God damn it, another panic from your blow hard dad Fuck around in the back of a Jeep Run a muck in the street Fall awake at the passenger seat, all aboard That ship don't sail like it did anymore, so [Chorus] We're goin' back to the fireside It's been a long time, but we're alright We're goin' back to the fireside It's been a long time, but we're alright [Verse 2] Well, it's been so long and you're still so neat Hair still shine and you smell so clean Romance those days when you passed back Looks to me, horn-rim shades and advance class books Walk my way in a plaid green skirt Hide that stain on my band t-shirt My friends all laughed when you grabbed my hand Had young love and I lost that chance Man, oh man, how the years slipped by me? Up off the page with the devil behind me, oh Good fuckin' work Another ten years at the tip of the iceberg [Chorus] We're goin' back to the fireside It's been a long time, but we're alright We're goin' back to the fireside It's been a long time, but we're alright [Verse 3] Okay, I know it's been a minute since we come along The old house you were livin' is now a cinema I'm not growin' by decision or lack of a choice, yeah But I remember the smoke blaze and namin' the stars Still remember the drunk fights that gave me the scars, all aboard That ship don't sail like it did anymore, so [Chorus] We're goin' back to the fireside It's been a long time, but we're alright We're goin' back to the fireside It's been a long time, but we're alright [Outro] Said We might be better off for all those Bruises and the scars The times we missed the mark That made me thick We're goin' back to the fireside It's been a long time, but we're alright
