Stay Divided

歌詞

My brother graduated college in spring, and we were both living back home in the town we were raised in for the summer One afternoon, we went swimming on the lake across the street with a couple of friends by the house where my roommate my freshman year grew up On a whim or a dare, we decided to see if we could try and flip his parents' 300 pound swim raft The four of us stood at each corner like they were the ends of the earth and began to rock the vessel back and forth It moved slow, as if its body ached from old age then stood up like a skyscraper before crashing back to earth, scattering us like debris We plunged into the water like stones My brother and Dan surfaced first, and probably aged a year for every second before Pat and I came back up We couldn't flip it back over, so it just sat there like a turtle stuck on its shell
