Lyrics

A fainter smile I've never seen
The water line is low
Holding on to a technicolor past
And I just can't let you go

When I was a young boy
The water was clear
You could see right down to the floor
Even though I know now that there's nothing so clean
I just can't let you go

I just can't let you go
The story the way it was told
The history that I was sold
I just can't let you go

The flags, the fireworks, the chrome and the steel
Dress up a darkness that's getting hard to ignore
But I grew up fed Wonder bread and dreams
And I just can't let it go
