When you've gone about things all wrong, 
Bury them here, with a lifetime you would never regret 
In savoring sleep, what do you mean I toss and turn everywhere? 
I'll miss you when you're gone 
In pretending that you meant the world to me 
With that you'd call me a liar and in the making mistakes 
You'll rest incomplete...
In graver mistakes (I'll be home) 
Dear mom and dad, 
I'll write you in this letter that states (I'll be moving on) 
When the new day's begun, (new day's begun) 
Forget your son when he's out on his own 
When the hand reads seven-thirty 
And your night begins to sink in the short but faster fall 
In the anxious but calm retort to a mirror that frames your face 
Baring the finest swell 
When the day begins to break, 
Like the tears that run across your cheek 
Stand straight and imagine you then 
In things and the way they could have been 
When the thoughts they race across your chin 
Here in the neverend 
In graver mistakes (I'll be home) 
Dear mom and dad, I'll write you in this letter that states (I'll be moving on) 
When the new day's begun, (new day's begun) 
Forget your son when he's out on his own 
Point your gun in another direction 
Now that you've cried yourself to sleep 
Point your gun in another direction 
Now that you've cried yourself to sleep 
Here in there 
After the fire 
(Before the long walk home) 
When he's found figuring, will he be home again? 
(Signal loss and stereo) 
With wide open windows will she be waiting for 
(The sounds surround the overpass) 
With severed arm placement when the day's dark, old and dead 
(A dead man against you) 
We'll write her a letter in long time passing by
In graver mistakes (I'll be home) 
Dear mom and dad, 
I'll write you in this letter that states (I'll be moving on) 
When the new day's begun, (new day's begun) 
Don't forget son when he's out on his own 
Point your gun in another direction 
Now that you've cried yourself to sleep 
Point your gun in another direction 
Now that you've cried yourself to sleep 
Here and there 
After the fire
After the fire
(To say, "I love you, and I'll be moving on...")
And I'll be bigger...
And I'll be bigger...
