lyrics

Seen you in that polaroid
A pony Miller beer in your hand
Unlit cigarette dangling from your lips
You were just a little kid
The grownups put you up to it
And it's for sure they're gonna do it again
The more things change, the more they stay the same
But the time of custom vans has gone away

Years started crashing by
You started running with the band
Smoking more than cigarettes
Never turning down a hit
The party never seemed to end
But you realized the guests had gone
And you're left standing by yourself again
No one's around to hear a note you play
They washed out in a pile of yesterdays
It's hard to believe the hands of time
They move along so gradually
Before you can blink your life has come to pass
The boy in the polaroid is history

Seen you in The Chronicle
An old soul smiling at me
Baby girl on your hip
A daddy's grin on your lips
She couldn't have been much older than 3
You made your peace with the man upstairs
And he's laid it out like ABCs
You're finger wrapped
And if that's that well you're okay
Quite a change
Made the man that you became
When she smiles
You turn to dust
You're just blown away
Daddy's heart
From the start
She was born to take
