Fingerprints

[Intro]
I wish that we could leave behind
The remnants of our old lives
And start again once we've wiped clean all the fingerprints
Cause I'm the only one that's out here now
If you do come back around
I'm worried that you'll see I wasn't innocent
And I never left, I'm still right here, hanging on

[Verse 1]
The parking lot princess spins dancing in her prom dress
The man in the moon frets wondering if he's on yet
He's seen a lot of things, a lot he couldn't process
For 24 years, I've had my hands in my pockets
And my back against the car
No books under my armpit
When you come from a town that's never had a profit
Everybody's almost famous, they just haven't had their shot yet
To be honest, I don't want to fill my head with that nonsense
Dark fills the clouds and heaven starts shifting
Rain floods the streets until everybody's swimming
I'm cursing up a storm while I'm talking under my breath
It's just like us to be in over our heads

[Chorus]
I never left, I'm still right here, hanging on
I'm still right here
I got a first aid kit and two aching limbs
They always say that there's a first time for everything
I'm tired of wearing my first broken heart out on my sleeve
I got a first class plan to be no one now
Got a first hand account of what it's all about
Being lonely as hell with my first broken bones out beside me
And I never left, I'm still right here, hanging on

[Verse 2]
It's almost autumn now, I feel it in my cheeks
As my faces loses color, gives it back to the trees
I still can't believe how the time passes by us
Quarter century of our lives packed in cardboard boxes
The suicide singer steps back from the microphone
He sacrificed everything to get a little time to grow
Lived a lot of melodies, sang a lot of highs and lows
And wrote it on his forearm, "Life is only rock and roll"
I waited 24 years to get a taste of it
A bathroom tile dreamer bathing in my vacantness
An old man waiting at the train station's inn
It's just like me to hang on by a thread

[Chorus]
I never left, I'm still right here, hanging on
I'm still right here
I got a first aid kit and two aching limbs
They always say that there's a first time for everything
I'm tired of wearing my first broken heart out on my sleeve
I got a first class plan to be no one now
Got a first hand account of what it's all about
Being lonely as hell with my first broken bones out beside me
And I never left, I'm still right here, hanging on

[Bridge]
Home isn't a place that we left, isn't a place that we left
It's just a place in our heads, and we'll find it again
No one's breaking my
Home isn't a place that we left, isn't a place that we left
It's just a place in our heads, and we'll find it again
No ones breaking my
(Home isn't a place that we left, isn't a place that we left
It's just a place in our heads, and we'll find it a-)
No one's breaking my

[Chorus]
First aid kit and two aching limbs
(Home isn't a place that we left, isn't a place that we left)
They always say that there's a first time for everything
I'm tired of wearing my first broken heart out on my sleeve
(It's just a place in our heads, and we'll find it again
No ones breaking my)
I got a first class plan to be no one now
(Home isn't a place that we left, isn't a place that we left)
Got a first hand account of what it's all about
Being lonely as hell with my first broken bones out beside me
(It's just a place in our heads, and we'll find it again)
And I never left

[Outro]
I wish that we could leave behind
The remnants of our old lives
And start again once we've wiped clean all the fingerprints
