Kevin Devine - From Here lyrics

The car went quiet and dark as we crept close The sand was plowed into piles like snow My friend got heavy and far as we crept close Flooded houses, destruction in rows He's from here So words don't cover it He's from here So words don't cover it Yeah words can't cover it (Oh no) Staten Island: square on the nose Midland Beach is a nightmare, a sh**show My best friend's got the boot to his throat He saved my life once So I got him He knows I'm from here Which I don't say enough I'm from here Which I don't say enough Yeah, I don't say enough He had to shovel the sand like snow He watched the water eat everything he owned So on the gas line, he sits & smokes Reconsidering everything he knows We're from here And nothing changes that We're from here And nothing changes that We're from here We're from here We build each other back We build each other back We build each other back
