Chains

Lyrics

[Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Break your chains, young man And run Away Break your chains, young man And run Away [Verse 1: Phrase] Hey, Nate, I know you're up there listenin', man I hope you're straight, 'cause I'm feelin' kinda twisted, man The cards they dealt us last year, bro, they really sucked How the fuck can one hand bring such bad luck? If this is karma, then I'm tryna think o' things we did To cost a life, the life of young Nathan Smith Eye for an eye, it's a painful injustice You never hurt a fly, and in God you really trusted So I don't understand why he called your number out I wish at least he had of let you see the summer out You would've flipped, me and Chaddy rocked a show with Snoop Wished you were there, so we dedicated songs to you It's not the same, since you left, things are different, mate Chaddy's moved to Perth and Danny's livin' in the states We're separated, but we'll never let the memories fade The day you broke the chains and taught us how to run again [Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Break your chains, young man And run Away Break your chains, young man And run Away [Verse 2: Phrase] It's funny how they say you take for granted what you've got Until it's gone and 'til your friend dies and you write a song About their life and how unfair it is it finished unfulfilled And then you realize if they coulda had the chance to write a will They woulda wished for you to chase your dreams and really make a move Instead of getting drunk and talkin' 'bout the things we'd never do I'm gonna prove this year, the life we lost was for the cause The coffin shuts, but it seems to open other doors When opportunities arise, now I snatch them up I wasted twenty-five and finally feel I'm catchin' up It's werid, mate, it's like the puzzle's really matchin' up And I don't feel that we could ever tell you thanks enough So 'til we meet again, a message from the boys and me We truly miss you, mate, and hope you found the place to be To us, you left the game and kinda took the sun away And in return, we learnt to break the chains and run away [Chorus: Daniel Merriweather] Break your chains, young man And run Away Break your chains, young man And run Away [Hook: Daniel Merriweather] And away Run away Run away [Bridge: Daniel Merriweather] Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
