Lyrics

Home Game

[Verse 1]

23rd Street

The only girl I've ever seen

Pumpkin street lights

I was just 14

You were not sick

You hit your head on the brick wall

Quick comprehension

Gold rings and waterfalls

[Verse 2]

We lived a fleeting convention

But I felt constant in others' absence

Your mama

Barely awake

And your faint, light heart

I was stuck from the start

[Verse 3]

Trophy of mine

High school football games

Enemy lines

I think both sides feel the same

Paris in the back of your mom's Chevrolet

She pretends we're not there

She smells like yesterday

[Verse 4]

We live like the last two on Earth

And we'll float on our backs 'til the whole sky goes black

And your fresh mind concentrated

All the water we're made of 'til you evaporated

[Outro]

My mother says you are under our feet

Under the sidewalks

Under 23rd Street
