My fallen friend; the years have passed us by So much just slips right through our hands I’m thinking back to the night we’d skate by streetlight Back then your eyes seemed so sure, this life could take you somewhere We’d drink and laugh about the girls we thought we’d never get All those nights throwing rocks and smashing bottles from that old town leven train bridge We watched the moonlight spark and flicker in our wake We never walked this sinking ground; we never saw what was at stake That sound, that drowning memory, we never felt This world’s impossibility biting down on all we’d ever be 2004, both our parents split, and your dad he passed away You moved miles down the southern coast with your new girlfriend, You never told me her name You used to speak of nervous starts The smell of her perfume and gin I swear I tried to remember your advice That first time she called me in If we truly are just stuck in our own heads In this world offers just one certain thing Why let it wear you down, why ever fear one thing? Till death it sets you free Don’t think don’t try Be no one else tonight Draw a breath and feel alive
