Last Words
Could live more lifetimes
And still be as lost without you
Our line was cut short
And I envy those
Who see it through
Were we so wrong about hope
That I haven't felt
Over all of these years
I lived a lie
No honest run
With a faulty sense of security
Back to the days
As a melancholy boy
That would fear
Any glint in his eye
That would give
Every hint to the fact
He was broken apart, inside
When you heard the call
You helped him up
And you talked him down through the worst of it
Now there's a voice
Tellin' that same boy
To let go
Enjoy being here
Will your face
Become an abstraction
That's sealed
Just don't know that it will
Crystallize
If I let go of everything real
Like a pocket knife
Or a model car
Long road trips on the interstate
Echoes of last words
You spoke as you looked out on me
"Be a good boy, and don't take life too seriously."
And still be as lost without you
Our line was cut short
And I envy those
Who see it through
Were we so wrong about hope
That I haven't felt
Over all of these years
I lived a lie
No honest run
With a faulty sense of security
Back to the days
As a melancholy boy
That would fear
Any glint in his eye
That would give
Every hint to the fact
He was broken apart, inside
When you heard the call
You helped him up
And you talked him down through the worst of it
Now there's a voice
Tellin' that same boy
To let go
Enjoy being here
Will your face
Become an abstraction
That's sealed
Just don't know that it will
Crystallize
If I let go of everything real
Like a pocket knife
Or a model car
Long road trips on the interstate
Echoes of last words
You spoke as you looked out on me
"Be a good boy, and don't take life too seriously."
