The Old Sad Bastard

You woke up next to the Old Sad Bastard
The wisest man you've ever known
You made love to the Old Sad Bastard cause God can only watch his garden grow

He says, "no melody will save your self 'cause no memory has a song"
He's telling me you'll sing along with fantasy until it knows

He don't have to get a grip cause moments slip through your hands
He don't have to look for shit; if you cant get lost you can't be found
He don't need conversation; when moments will disappear
He don't need to learn to love, cause how can you love something you don't understand?

What to do if nothing's lasted?
Can you call ever this a place a home?
If dreaming of love is all I have I'll keep sleeping to imagine what I know

Singing melodies to save myself
Creating memories for every song
He's telling me you'll sing along with fantasy until it catches up

He don't have to get a grip cause moments slip through your hands
He dont have to look for shit; if you can't get lost you can't be found
He dont need conversation; when moments will just disappear
He dont need to learn to love, cause how can you love something you don't understand?

I sleep next to the Old Sad Bastard, the wisest man I've ever known.
I'll tell him but he won't believe me because I feel hopeless for the same reason
I feel hopeless for the same reason
I feel hopeless for the same reason that I have hope
I have hope
I have hope
I have hope
