Bad thing (good shit)

One minute your dad's holdin' you up in the sky
And you're smilin' over superman teachin' you to fly
And the ground and tomorrow seem so far away
He's invincible and you're his protege
Then you come down, turn around, fast forward 20 years
The lines on his face say things you don't wanna hear
And you do the math and make a wish when he blows out his candles
But father time keeps on tickin' on the mantle

That's the bad thing about good shit
That's the sad side of a party
You go from golden polaroid memory shakin'
To reminiscin' listenin' to your breakin' heart beat
That's the hangover from a concert
When that bus rolls it leaves a bitter sweet hurt
That's the bad thing about good shit

She was heaven in my Blazer, high school legendary
Swore on that cross hangin' off my rearview we were gonna get married
Cause if we weren't in the back seat tearin' T-shirts
We were on the phone sayin' "nah... you hang up first"
But somethin' happened that day we threw our caps in the air
And we grew out of a love I thought we'd always wear
Through the grapevine she's doin' fine and I'm busy with the band
Sometimes I look her up in that year book just cause I can... damn

That's the bad thing about good shit
That's the sad side of a party
Go from golden polaroid memory shakin'
To reminiscin' listenin' to your breakin' heart beat
That's the hangover from a concert
When that bus rolls it leaves a bitter sweet hurt
That's the bad thing about good shit

That's the bad thing about good shit
That's the bad thing about good shit

That's the bad thing about good shit
That's the sad side of a party
Go from golden polaroid memory shakin'
To reminiscin' listenin' to your breakin' heart beat
That's the hangover from a concert
When that bus rolls it leaves a bitter sweet hurt
That's the bad thing about good shit

That's the bad thing about good shit
That's the bad thing about good shit
