The Wonder Years – Cul-de-sac lyrics
I've been leaving messages on an answering machine
In a house that's always empty, so I know nobody's listening
I've been confessing my transgressions over tape hiss
And the silence makes me sick
No good can come from this

[Chorus]
I'm letting go
I've been holding on like poison ivy
Out of cold suburban concrete
From this careless urban sprawl
I'm letting go
You know we can't keep out of trouble
I thought my kids would call you uncle
I thought we'd never be alone

I've got images of you inside my head
Outside of the gas station where we always used to shoplift
It's car-crash rhetoric
We fucked up everything we came in contact with
Just boyhood recklessness

[Chorus]

If you walked me home, you'd know how weak my arms got
I just can't carry you
If you walked me home, I know I'd have flashbacks
Of snow angels and gut laughs
If you walked me home... but you won't
You're all alone on some bullshit, pill-bottle vision quest
If you walked me home, I don't know when I would finally
Work up the backbone to walk alone

I’m letting go
Because I love you
But I have to
