Trial Of The Century Lyrics

Artist: Good Riddance
Album: Symptoms of a Leveling Spirit

What does it mean when youæŠ®e sixteen
The worldæŠ¯ a cold and lonely place
But youæŠ®e still kicking
Every door down in the place

The war of words theyæŠ®e so upright
You pass a hundred sleepless nights
And the worst is yet to come or so they say

Here comes seventeen
And just beyond
ThereæŠ¯ tolerance and empathy
To protect you from them all
A stand of evergreen
Just like the places we would always talk about
To catch you when you fall

You hear a knock outside the door
It never rains here anymore
So now thereæŠ¯ nothing new
To was away the pain

A frightened face your clouded mind
The memories youæŠ³e trailed behind
And seventeen still feels light years away

Nobody seems to understand you
As your grasping for that innocence
Sequestered in your mind

Was it guilt or were they blind
All this time
