Party of Five

Parents said that you're fine but when they lie I know I don't believe it when I hear you on the phone So Mom packed us in the van and we all hit the road Somebody better show me where did sister go I'm pissing in a Snapple bottle Don't stop for nothing, pound the throttle Made it to Western Mass, was beaming when I saw you Please don't leave us again unless you really got to And if only it could be so simple now All the highways seem so safe now Without you barreling down roads And every concert is a dead end Without you screaming in front row No point in going Fenway Park now Without you hollering my side And all these memories I stored up What if they start to blur with time No, I won't try to make it simple now With my glasses off can still see you in a crowd When the fires sighed they crept into your lungs You were out there protecting the children left in dust Did you ever think to stop and take care of yourself You'd never consider that when someone else needs help
