lyrics

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 parent's 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 it's 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
