I knew a boy with the tall grass beneath him
Wild, free, gentle and kind
Runnin' from ghosts that would end up beside him
Still never paid 'em no mind

And I knew a man with the city beneath his feet
Got good at walkin' through walls
Void of surprises
Got gold in his eyes, but a heart full of cannonballs

So I let one forget me 'til the other resents me
Happy as I can be in this never-ending war of the worlds
Who's left behind?
In this war of the worlds, oh, well, never mind

Both spend their days with a frown on their faces
Dreamin' of the other one's shoes
And it's such a shame how they both feel the same
But can't see it's whatever they choose

So I let one forget me 'til the other resents me
Happy as I can be in this never-ending war of the worlds
Who's left behind?
In this war of the worlds, oh, well, never mind

So hats off to those who have made it
Hats on to those in the rain
Just don't bump my hat when you're tryna get back
To the place that I'm tryin' to remain

In this war of the worlds
In this war of the worlds
Oh, well, never mind
