You said hey kid there's nothing for you up in them clouds
So why do stare and sing so loud?
I don't know but one day that sky's gonna fall down,
And I'll be just fine
I'll be singing at it's side
And you can run all you want
You'll get nowhere fast
There's a reason for Those Lungs kid
Once they're used up, you can't give 'em back
So don't look back, 'cause you'll regret
Those rainy days you can't forget
That sunday morning's afternoon the one you lost and the look they gave you Summers spent in southern towns
The matinee and your mother's gown
And how you used to have a reason to wake up
And I can't say that I fully comprehend your reasons for giving up
You can say whatever you please, but don't blame it on luck
This isn't high school kid, this is real life
Live it how you want to
But don't bother coming back to this town, everytime you're lied to
And you can run all you want
You'll get nowhere fast
There's a reason for those lungs kid
Once they're used up, you can't give 'em back
So don't look back, 'cause you'll regret
Those rainy days you can't forget
That sunday morning's afternoon
The one you lost and the look they gave you
Summers spent in southern towns
The matinee and your mother's gown
And how you used to have a reason to wake up
Living in the city just ain't so pretty at night
When you look up you can't see a god damn star in the sky
And it's not like you asked for this
But it's not like anyone cares
And I'll sing how I like with my head in the sky
Yeah I'll sing how I like with my head in the sky
