Fireside - Bryce Vine

Okay I know it’s been a minute since we come along

The old house you were livin' is now a synagogue

«Opah"the hardest part of growin' is the lack of a choice, yeah

I rode past that old bowling alley but now it’s a Vons

Rolled past the O’Malley house and the family is gone

It’s cold now but I’m highly evolved

So I don’t feel the cold in the car

I stopped two blocks from the high school lot

On the corner every mornin' where Denae got dropped

Pretty broad, momma caught up on the PTA

Sneak her off, ditch a class and go to CPK

But it’s A-okay

Still a markin' from the tires where my old car crashed

Metal, glass, burnin' rubber on my whole car dash

My boy sleep in the back, god damnit another panic from your blow hard dad

Fuck around in the back of a jeep

Run a muck in the street

Fall awake at the passenger seat, all aboard

That ship don’t sail like it did anymore, so

We’re goin' back to the fireside

It’s been a long time but we’re alright

We’re goin' back to the fireside

It’s been a long time but we’re alright

Well it’s been so long and you’re still so neat

Hair still shine and you smell so clean

Romance those days when you passed back

Looks to me horn rim shades and advance class books

Walk my way in a plaid green skirt

Hide that stain on my band t-shirt

My friends all laughed when you grabbed my hand

Had young love and I lost that chance

Man, oh man, how the years slipped by me?

Up off the page with the devil behind me, oh

Good fuckin' work

Another ten years at the tip of the iceberg

We’re goin' back to the fireside

It’s been a long time but we’re alright

We’re goin' back to the fireside

It’s been a long time but we’re alright

Okay I know it’s been a minute since we come along

The old house you were livin' is now a cinema

I’m not growin' by decision or a lack of a choice, yeah

But I remember the smoke blaze and naming the star

Still remember the drunk fights that gave me the scars, all aboard

That ship don’t sail like it did anymore, so

We’re goin' back to the fireside

It’s been a long time but we’re alright

We’re goin' back to the fireside

It’s been a long time but we’re alright

Just say

We might be better off for all those

Bruises and the scars

The times we missed the mark

That made me thick

We’re goin' back to the fireside

It’s been a long time but we’re alright
