This Guitar

We were born and raised
Like a song, like this guitar
Born to seize the day
Like the songs we sang on this guitar

We were born to dream
Like a song, like this guitar
Backseat harmonies
Like the songs we sang on this guitar

Every memory
Everyone we try to be
Every song that sends us chasing down the highway
Every town we play
Every truth we try to say
That every tale has a beginning and an ending

So when you get your wings
Like a song, like this guitar
You must rise up singing
Like the songs we sang on this guitar

Looking back to find
All the lives you left behind
Are you caught now between yesterday and tomorrow?
'Cause everyone pretends
That they want to know the ending
But then they run away with their pride and their sorrow

So when you get your wings
Like a song, like this guitar
You must rise up singing
Like the songs we sang on this guitar

You must rise up singing
Like the songs we sang on this guitar
This guitar
