Cody's Song

How quickly ticks the anxious clock
Why do we accept sleep as we rock
In our cradles where time passes us by

What did we last say to each other
Did we plan to see one another again soon
Neglecting to follow through
Before your life was cut so short

What happened to our once-close ties
"I'll see you soon" could always be a lie

Cody, my brother, can you hear me
I know that you're gone
But I can't push away
Your ghost that sits upon
My mind most days

Hours and hours we spent
Trying to write
The best songs that we could
In your hot, cramped shed
Or working out of Nick's garage
When we'd argue, you'd keep us grounded
And you made every moment well worth it
Sometimes I think I hear you laugh
But I know it's my aching for what's past

In my head I keep pushing rewind
Trying to keep the memories
From becoming
Lost in time
You're the reason I now look over the center divide

Cody, my brother
Can you hear me
When I say that I'll never forget you
'Cause time hasn't healed the wound
But only piled on life's distractions
I'll always miss you
But as you always would
I'll just keep striving
To live with no regrets
