Down One

With nothing left to say
Note on the counter says he’s gone away
Packs his thoughts up into his car
Realizes miles away he’s never been so far
Might be lost and might get scared
Telling secrets he never thought he’d share
May be free but what’s it mean
Do you know enough if you’re only eighteen

You’re growing up
But you’re not always right
Now don’t be rash
It was just one fight

Maybe mom was right when she said
You’ll never listen to a thing but what’s in your head
Well it’s a shame that his life began so soon
The nights are different when a cloud covers your moon
And now the only thing he can laugh about
Memories of days when he could run and shout
Dreams put on hold to work six days a week
You’d never know, but now a tear runs down one cheek

You’re growing up
But you’re not always right
Now don’t be rash
It was just one fight

Maybe life’s more learning than knowing how X100000
