Tell me tales of grime and grit   Birds fly high to catch the sun   We can try it when were done      Congregate the fools you know   With your heart and with your soul   Go get lost and feel at home   Makes more sense when you’re alone      Wisdom waits for you to shine   It’s the hardest thing in life   Chasing dreams but getting dust   Stretching friendships stretching trust      I have all the pieces now   Don’t ask why and don't ask how   Man your silence speaks so much   Stretching friendship stretching trust      All the smaller pieces fit   When the spotlight makes you sweat   Don’t behave like this and fret   What you gives is what you get      Wisdom waits for you to shine   It’s the hardest thing in life   Chasing dreams but getting dust   Stretching friendship stretching trust      I’m not trying to be your friend   I’m not trying to comprehend   Where you've been and where I went   What we did is what we meant      It seems priceless and insane   I've got room to put your name   On my shoulder where you lean   When it suits you and its clean      Wisdom waits for you to shine   It’s the hardest thing in life   Chasing dreams but getting dust   Stretching friendship stretching trust      Man I’m trying to break through   I feel I don’t know you   When did eggshells soak your skin?   When did ce around get thin?      If we round up everything   Past and present everything   Lines don’t cross and ties don’t break   We have given now we take      Wisdom waits for you to shine   It’s the next thing on your mind   Chasing dreams that will come true   When you do the things you do      And I’ll be with you to the last   All the demons in our past   Maybe then we'll stop and think   Maybe then we'll have that drink      Satisfy me with your wit   Tales of grime and tales of grit!
