Trophy Deer

Hey man 
think you hold my jacket? I think I wanna dance tonight. But find me before you go
, I don't wanna ride home alone. 

I was the new kid in a rich town
Not a lot of friends around
 I found 
the only other one in the neighborhood
 Our bond was unbreakable.
Some people change but we won't-

 Be everything we could be
 Cuz the pact that we made 
fit like cement shoes
that looked good in our youth
. The waters up to our necks now
, We Gotta get out.
 I don't wanna be a souvenir.
Got my own way to go
 And I hope I see you there
 when the smoke clears

 The inside jokes 
in new inner circles
 Outside our old haunts made an outsider out of me.
 I saw how much it lit you up
 to beat me down
 You fly me like a fighter kite
 I wish you'd cut my line and make it right
. But, I'm the crutch and I'm the sprain
it's a complex duality. 

There's poison in the words you use.
 I grew up excluded and you press on the bruise.
 There's a breeze I feel within me
, and it's taking me to places that you'd never believe. 

But I won't be everything that I could be.
And I won't be everything that I should.

 I don't wanna be a souvenir
I've got my own way to go
 and I hope I see you there
 I don't wanna be your trophy deer
 Let go my rein and I'd remain
 I don't wanna be your souvenir
