Shoulders Songtext
von Jacob Golden

I tried to write the perfect song
To let you know that I was wrong
And fix the bloody hole in the roof
Where the hammer fell
Machines, they fall in foreign places
Looking for my other in a sea of faces
A girl and a boy in the corner
Where the hammer fell

Sometimes I wonder

Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Just a little longer


I was stuck, stuck, stuck in the past
Saw you at Amoeba and we fell so fast
But fairy tales always fade
And the bruises last
I finally wrote the perfect song
I played it in my bedroom all night long
I thought of you but I didn′t call
And the hammer falls

Sometimes I wonder

Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Just a little longer

At 25, I bought a sampler when
My band broke up, I thought I'd lost my spark
That old reaper left its mark
Sometimes I throw myself around

Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Is there someone there to carry you on their shoulders?
Just a little longer

Just a little longer
Just a little longer
Yeah, just a little longer
Yeah, just a little longer
Just a little longer
