The Nest by The American Indie Lyrics

[The American Indie}
Do the dishes and pick up your room
You better ask for permission
Even though you're leaving soon

21’s a dumb age
When 18’s enough to go to war
So when you leave for the weekend
You don’t have to lie about a glass of wine

I remember the day you were born
It was snowing in Dallas, Texas
The whole world stopped and started again
Now the nest is empty

Your room is bright with trophies
One thing that hasn’t changed
A house built with sound waves
So silent it'll drive you insane

Now I’m stuck on the freeway
Headed home to the east bay
What happened to young age
Those were the best days
I remember the day you were born
It was snowing in Dallas texas
The whole world stopped and started again
Now the nest is empty
