Germany, 1991

Lyrics

Start from the beginning 'Cause even though I'd like you to believe I came out swinging It was more like a stumble, a trip, a fall Through the floor and straight into a brick wall And in this metaphor, my bones Well, they never properly finished healing But I'm not trying to say My entire childhood was completely twisted and frayed Just that it's hard to feel complete when you know you can't stay The military decides in 2 years time That you'll pack up and move a couple thousand miles away To another commissary, another BX Another 10 o'clock curfew "You're all set!" Another crush you'll watch from afar for another 2 years but never bed 'Nother batch of asshole airmen Who think they're the reason we're still here, no Just because you decided to enlist doesn't make you any kind of fucking hero And all I wanted was a chance to care to memorize names and shake hands Build this Family Bed for every friend I never really met The kind of bond you find early on that doesn't have any boundaries or quotas Something like Walter and Jesse Or-wait! no no no! Probably more like Logan and Dakota (What the fuck is wrong with me?) (What the fuck is wrong with me?) (What the fuck is wrong with me?) I'm surrounded by familiar faces and I still feel lonely (What the fuck is wrong with me?) I got my roots planted firmly Got the support I said I would need And I should be happy with what I got But I'm not [Guitar solo]
