about

Hail Varsity's debut single

lyrics

I’ve spent the last few years anticipating
Being older but feeling so afraid of aging
I made it to the age I always wanted to be
Now I’m jealous of the kids who make the most of things

I’m a little distant from it all
Linger where I’m most comfortable
You’re saying, “Don’t look down, don’t lose your edge”
While you loosen my grip

And you send me plummeting
But we got the bumpers on
We got a sense of security
You send me plummeting
But we keep the knee pads on
We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees

I’ve got no one left to impress here
I do the same things but they don’t get easier
You know the lightning strike has completely faded
You wouldn’t get the joke if I made it

There were grass stains on my jeans
And dirty fingers on loosened baby teeth
I shouldn’t been marking my path with blood
Now I can’t find my way back from where

You send me plummeting
But we got the bumpers on
We got a sense of security
You send me plummeting
But we keep the knee pads on
We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees

It’s all leading up to this
But it’s all downhill from here
I’m dying to be reborn
What is there to look forward to
When there’s so much to miss out on?
I’m dying to be re-

You send me plummeting
But we got the bumpers on
We got a sense of security
You send me plummeting
But we keep the knee pads on
We aren’t afraid of skinned-up knees
