Heartbreak Dreamer Lyrics - Just Kids - Mat Kearney

La la ... 

I was turning nineteen, on a cold December night 

Burning like kerosine for nearly half of my life 

And I barely had the GPA to make it out of Eugene 

You can blame it on me with a ADHD while I'm falling asleep during the SAT's 

And as I pack my bags and headed to a foreign land 

One way ticket on a one way plan 

Laying my head down to home each night 

The same devil's calling and that same old fight 

Cuz this one's for middle sons living in the middle love 

Where they coming from and a halfway rush of blood 

This ones for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending 

For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light 

Looking for just one reason to get through the night 

Every long lost believer caught in the fight 

All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright 

Everybody sing

La la... 

And I was turning twenty five in a city that don't sleep 

Was feeling only half alive to the dreams that I keep 

And I kept on waiting only she's waiting for me 

You burning down Main on a quarter tank of pain with soles off your feet 

And you've been waiting and praying for the right one to come 

Watch the rise and the fallin' of another setting sun 

Nobody seems quite good enough for you except the wrong ones you keep running back to 

So this one's for Mike still waiting for his wife 

This one's for grandma losing the love of her life 

This one's for those first prayers to heaven on a road that seems never ending 

For all the heartbreak dreamers waiting for the light 

Looking for just one reason to get through the night 

Every long lost believer caught in the fight 

All the heartbreak dreamers gonna be alright 

Everybody sing 

La la...

And this one right here ah, this is for the fat girls 

This one is a... is for the little brothers 

This is for the schoolyard wimps, for the childhood bullies who tormented them 

To the former prom queen and to the milk crate ball players 

For the nighttime cereal eaters and for the retired elderly walmart store front door greeters 

Shake the dust 

This is for the benches and the people sitting upon 

For the bus drivers driving a million broken hymns 

To the men who have to hold down three jobs simply to hold up their children 

For the nighttime schoolers and for the midnight bike riders trying to fly 

Shake the dust 

This is for the two year olds who cannot be understood because they speak half english and half God 

Shake the dust 

For the boys with the beautiful beautiful sisters 

Shake the dust 

For the girls with those brothers who are going crazy 

Those gym class wallflowers and the twelve year old afraid of taking public showers 

For the kid who is always late to class cause he forgets the combination to his locker 

For the girl who loves somebody else 

Shake the dust 

This is for the hard men who want love, but know that it won't come 

For the ones amendments do not stand up for 

For the ones who are forgotten 

For the ones who are told to speak only when you are spoken to 

And then they are never spoken to 

Speak every time you stand so you do not forget yourself 

Do not let one moment go by that doesn't remind you that your heart beats a hundred thousand times a day 

And that there are enough gallons of blood to make every one of you oceans
