[Verse 1] The little crowns that weigh us down We sit inside, put on our frowns From tapestry to wedding bells We live in sin and f** in hell [Verse 2] The little streets that map our days The cul-de-sacs and true love ways You're jumping kerbs and hoping for A speeding car or sinking floor The little lies and little storms The little guns that shoot us down The little boats that haul us in That walk our streets and wear our crowns [Chorus] Stay inside for a while, lose your pride for a while Fan the fire with hands of ire Rest your eyes tonight, morning comes we ignite Before we all learn to live and breathe again
[Verse 3] Summersk**s and better schools Who would bend to break the rules I'm sitting out the last dance I'll put it down to circumstance The little notes that mark our days The box of truth and memories When all the words come back to haunt We burn them all or make them count The little plans and little tales The little breaks that never heal The little boats that haul us in The little boats, the little boats [Bridge] Hand me down the antidote The burning bush and lonesome road Hand me down the antidote The burning curse and truth untold [Chorus]
