back in the grass, and i open my eyes / i've been looking for god in the summer skies / i left my friends and the party behind / to wander down a neighborhood that isn't mine
and i'm just trying / to ease my mind / for a while
i can barely recall what led me here / it was a feeling that i got in the past few years / when i'm in a crowd i get this kind of fear / i question if they all would notice if i disappear
so i take a walk / just down this block / for a while / and i have a talk / with the dirt and rocks / for a while
and i see it all so clearly / that i'm nothing like i planned / by the time i got to my age / i was supposed to be a man / and i see that i'm still hiding / from pretty girls and holding hands / terrified that one false move / and they'll never talk to me again
my back in the grass, and i open my eyes / i've been looking for god in the summer skies / i left my friends and my family behind / to live a new life that isn't mine
