I can't recall the last
time that we talked
About anything but
looking out for cops
We got cigarette burns
in the same side of our
hands, we ain't friends
We're just morons,
who broke skin in
the same spot
But I've never seen
you take a turn
that wide
And I'm high enough
to still care if I die
So I tried to read
the thoughts that you'd
worked overtime to stop
You said, "F*** off,"
and I said nothin'
for a while
You know I think
about you all the time
And my deep
misunderstanding
of your life
And how bad it must
have been for you
back then
And how hard it
was to keep it all inside
I hope you settle down,
I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared
of only ordinary s***
Like murderers and
ghosts and cancer
on your skin
And not your soul
and what He might
do with it
You inched yourself
across the great divide
While we drove
aimlessly along the
Twin State line
I heard nothing but
the bass in every
ballad that you'd play
While you swore
to God the singer
read your mind
But the world is
scared of hesitating
things
Yeah, they only shoot
the birds who cannot
sing
And I'm finally aware
of how s**** and unfair
It was to stare ahead
like everything was fine
I hope you settle
down, I hope you
marry rich
I hope you're scared
of only ordinary s***
Like murderers and
ghosts and cancer
on your skin
And not your soul
and what He might
do with it
Rage, in small ways
Did you wish
that I could know
That you'd fade
to some place
I wasn't brave
enough to go?
I hope you settle
down, I hope you
marry rich
I hope you're
scared of only
ordinary s***
Like murderers and
ghosts and cancer
on your skin
And not your soul
and what He might
do with it
Ah, woah
Ah
Ah, Lord
