The song is a bittersweet reflection on teenage life and moving forward into adulthood and how, looking back at the people and places you grew up in, everything has changed. It’s the ninth track off of Exit’s highly-anticipated debut release, “Bored In America.”
[Verse 1]
I think my TV might be broken
I trace my cord back to the wall
Oh no, my TV isn't broken, just don't need this thing at all
Woke up this mornin', think I'm broken
Realize my hair is gettin' long
Oh no, I don't think that I'm broken, just don't need this stuff at all
[Chorus]
And furthermore, the grocery stores
Have taken all the houses
And restaurants that we thought were ours
Are gone or someone else's
Half the kids I recognize
Are twice the size and gettin' high
Just think I'm moving up, and gettin' on
[Verse 2]
I'm holed up with good folks for the moment
Think as I call thеm my in-laws
'Cause I know some days are brushеd in gold, some days need gettin' before they're gone
[Chorus]
And furthermore, the grocery stores
Have taken all the houses
And restaurants that we thought were ours
Are gone or someone else's
Half the kids I recognize
Are twice the size and gettin' high
Just think I'm moving up, and gettin' on
[Bridge]
I've been chasin' down those flaws
And I'm holdin' on this long
Think I'm lost
[Outro]
And furthermore, the grocery stores
Have taken all the houses
The restaurants that we thought were ours
Are gone or someone else's
And half the kids I recognize
Are twice the size and gettin' high
Just think I'm moving up, and gettin' on
