Do you recall there was
Down by the creek bed
A secret
The skeleton of a rusty town car?
Well when I landed
I hiked to the bottom
And saw them
These teenagers ripping it apart
Yesterday was rough
And I feel
To keep on keeping on ain't enough
'Cause if all these places
Are changing their names
Then I give up
Do you remember that gutter
Where we'd all sit and shudder
As our
Hockey pucks would roll to their doom?
Well I heard they filled it with concrete
In fact they repaved the whole street
And I really miss
Sobbing silent in my room
Yesterday was rough
And I feel
To keep on keeping on ain't enough
'Cause if all these places
Are changing their names
Then I give up
(Yeah)
(Yeah)
And the first who heard this song
Right now is sinking beneath the waves
Of all that's changing
But I ain't saying all is lost
'Cause just two things still live on
The first is guilt of what could have been
And what I wish was different
The second's love. I pray I'm not wrong
Because it takes me by surprise
How brick-by-brick we build it up
And they tear it down
The hopeless feelings in our eyes
And there's concrete in me now
I poured it in when I was weak
And when I felt empty
I cannot get rid of it now
Well I remember that night when
It all slipped through my hands
These hands that have
Done more harm than good
But then I heard your tears through the receiver
And you made of me, a believer
That even if it's hard to go on
I still should
