lyrics

I Could Hold the World

Parked under an Elm tree No one says a thing
Watching the houses Frank starts whistling
The sun falls like an egg And the lights come on
Blue glow of the tv sets The silhouette of a mom
And I don’t believe it I don’t believe in it any more

Why can’t I remember Being so young
Without all the stupid things That I’ve done
Was there even a moment was there ever a chance
I could hold the world in these calloused hands
I don’t believe it I don’t believe in it any more
I don’t believe it I don’t believe in it any more

Frank stays in the car watches for the cops
Me and Richie sneak around back then he stops
A light comes on kitchen and I see the man
Head out the window with a flashlight in his hand
And we run

Every little thing I say gets in the way
But I’m ready to start again I wanna believe
