Lyrics

On August first, nineteen-eight-one
 I cycled to Scott's house with a BB gun
 We were almost twelve, but we looked thirteen
 He had baby-blue eyes that I shot him between
 Nature provides for us a safety net
 Whatever we do, we can never forget
 Chorus:
 I live with it every day
 Even though we moved away
 Our yesterdays are on a loop;
 A marathon of heartbreaking moments
 I live with it every day
 For every step I have to pay
 The only thing that they can't take
 The guild that spirals in my wake
 The day they found me asleep on the floor
 Engine running, closed garage door
 Was the day the For Sale sign arrived on the lawn
 Two weeks later, and we were gone
 Everyone falls through time and the funnel it makes
 But I'm staying here inside my biggest mistake
 Chorus
 The love I put away
 Like games that children play
 The hearts you choose to break
 Like cars dumped in the lake
 The laugh lines on your face
 The life I won't embrace
 The cold house I won't leave
 The guests I won't receive
 Chorus
