Passing Through A Screen Door Lyrics - The Greatest Generation - The Wonder Years

Cigarette smoke dances back in the window 

And I can see the haze on its own light 

I'm conjuring ghosts on a forty hour ride home 

And they keep asking me what I'm doing with my life 

While my cousins go to bed with their wives 

I'm feeling like I've fallen behind 

Well, the highway won 

I'm listening to traffic reports one on one 

Coming quietly undone 

I was born to run 

Away from anything good 

An escape artist's son 

Sun-drenched pavement in my blood 

The first thing that I do when I walk in 

Is find a way out for when shit gets bad and

I've been looking for 

Tears in the screen door 

(tears in the screen door) 

I've been waiting for 

Another disaster 

(another disaster) 

Well I'm terrified 

Like a kid in the sixties 

Staring at the sky 

Waiting for the bomb to fall 

And it's all a lie 

What they say about stability 

It scares me sometimes 

The emptiness I see in my eyes 

And all the kids names I've ever liked are tied to tragedy 

And I don't want my children growing up to be anything like me

I've been looking for 

Tears in the screen door 

(tears in the screen door) 

I've been waiting for 

Another disaster 

(another disaster) 

And I was kinda hoping you'd say 

I was kinda hoping you'd stay 

I keep a flashlight 

And a small knife 

In the corner of my bed stand 

I keep a flashlight 

And the train times 

But you wouldn't understand 

How could you understand? 

Jesus Christ, I'm twenty-six 

All the people I've graduated with 

All have kids 

All have wives 

All have people who care if they come home at night 

Well, Jesus Christ, did I fuck up? 

I've been looking for 

Tears in the screen door (tears in the screen door) 

I've been waiting for 

Another disaster (another disaster) 

And I was kinda hoping you'd say 

I was kinda hoping you'd stay 

I was kinda hoping you'd stay
