Ryan Steffes - GGG Lyrics

How we glistened when we would drive
Through the parking deck on East Side
I liked getting to the fifth floor
Fluorescent lights opened to the deep blue

We always hated ceilings, didn't we
I don't remember what we talked about
But Winter peeled away our citrus skin

Now we're left with the sunburns
Now we're left with the sunburns

Is the liturgy all that remains
Are we just familiar and lonely
Like our neighbor on his screen porch
A thin metal net between him and the world

I miss the sugar rush of ignorance
We seem to laugh less nowadays
Does all that's sweet leave us with cavities

'Cause we're hurting and sunburned
'Cause we're hurting and sunburned
Yeah we're hurting and sunburned
Yeah we're hurting and sunburned

I would climb on every rooftop
Just to stand there and feel alive
Claiming I was one that would change the world
I bathed in my beautiful mind

Now I drive through campus at lunchtime
I feel warm in the layers of sound
Second-hand beauty of a friendship
I'm metallic and misunderstood

I would climb on every rooftop
Just to stand there and feel alive
Claiming I was one that would change the world
I bathed in my beautiful mind

Now I drive through campus at lunchtime
I feel warm in the layers of sound
Second-hand beauty of a friendship
I'm metallic and misunderstood
