Boomerang

I remember as a child
 Looking off of the rooftop
 As I grew, the view got lost
 But the clouds never seemed to stay
 Stay
 This, yes I know
 That my blood maintains its flow
 Even though I might not
 I get caught in tunnel-vision
 Single-minded thoughts
 But the older I became
 My view of life would change
 Every lesson that's worth learning
 Brought me pain
 I hope we get what we deserve
 A little taste of what we were
 I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
 Owning up to our past mistakes
 Mistakes
 Now I can say
 There are times I've dodged the blame
 I confess
 It rolled back, it rolled back
 Like a game
 God, it made me sick
 The way it hit when it all came
 For the years that I've seen change
 I've gone against the grain
 What goes around
 Comes back around again
 I hope we get what we deserve
 A little taste of what we were
 I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
 Owning up to our past, yeah
 I hope we get what we deserve
 A little taste of what we were
 Stepping back doesn't make it right
 Standing tall doesn't get you high
 Doesn't get you high
 Get you high
 Doesn't get you high (doesn't get you high)
 I forget, I forget
 How the clouds move
 I'm forgetting to view from above
 I forget, I forget
 How the clouds move after all
 I hope we get what we deserve
 A little taste of what we were
 I'm learning that nothing gold can stay
 Owning up to our past mistakes
 Mistakes
