The Top Half Of The Everglades

It's 5 A.M. when we pull over

at the edge of the everglades

where the sun first hits the southern states

Walking slow and watch the exits

There's more than blood between brothers

and there's more than time between us

We're too blind to see the forest for the trees or palm trees

So you and I drive farther down I95

We've grown enough to know

what we've grown into

and you're everything

I've ever wanted to look up to

If for nothing else, for redemption's sake

just know that

I'm proud to have your blood running through my veins

There's room enough for the two of us

to watch the ghosts of growing up

in the arms of Wednesday morning

In every broken cloud

screaming in orange and rose

I knew that who we are is only what we fight for

We're too blind to see the forest for the trees or palm trees

So you and I drive farther down I95

We sit and watch Wednesday morning fill

the top half of the everglades

(the top half of the everglades)

I never said, "thanks for everything",

but you meant more than anything

We've grown enough to know

what we've grown into

and you're everything

I've ever wanted to look up to

If for nothing else, for redemption's sake

just know that

I'm proud to have your blood running through my veins

We've grown enough to know

what we've grown into

and you're everything

I've ever wanted to look up to

If for nothing else, for redemption's sake

just know that

I'm proud to have your blood running through my veins
