I wish you the best I sat on my father's grave I smoked a cigarette
Putting thoughts of you, like him, to rest And I wait Like an actor with scripted lines Absorbed in his own designs Too anxious to make an effort to relate
I made you a promise I'd see the story through Through hopeful endeavour uncover grey-toned truth Lonely is a word we can't seem to articulate Tucked into our hearts before our throats can resonate
I was just a kid before the show would take its shape You gave me a sister to love her, a lost older brother to save Can't we take a drive tonight, down the roads that bend to break If we saw too far ahead we'd never get on our way
I learn from the test When the wine was flowing free And your demons fell asleep I know we're all giving our best, so it seems That I can't seem to draw the line Too busy claiming what is mine Elucidate the beauty of a broken dream
Are we running circles? I've lost my way again Strangers crowd on sidewalks, I can't seem to find a friend Lonely is a word we can't seem to articulate Tucked into our hearts before our throats can resonate
I was just a kid before the show would take its shape You gave me a sister to love her, a lost older brother to save Can't we take a drive tonight, down the roads that bend to break If we saw too far ahead we'd never get on our way
