Smaller Mess
How's the hospital today?
I heard your one on one is over
Now that life's out of the way
Is it more enticing to get sober
I know your parents never listen when you say that you feel down
It was three years 'till you were free
You made it, man you're eighteen now
But you called me yesterday
In a blue hospital gown
I never thought this would be the way
You got yourself out of that town
But it's a smaller mess when you look from far away
Give yourself my best, tell her I love her anyway
Saw your name carved in the bed
Of some place from long ago
Now I sleep here instead
Just thought that I would let you know
Five little letters from the better days when you could get some rest
There was no beeping of the monitors
To match the beating in your chest
The nights when I would stay up late and text into the void
I knew you wouldn't answer, but I found solace in the noise
And it's a smaller mess when you look from far away
Give yourself my best, tell her I love her anyway
You're like salty water onto sand
Trying to hold you in my hands
But you're slipping through and falling farther than I can imagine
Imagine
And it's a smaller mess when you look from far away
Give yourself my best, tell her I love her anyway
How's the hospital today?
I heard your one on one is over
Now that life's out of the way
Is it more enticing to get sober?
I heard your one on one is over
Now that life's out of the way
Is it more enticing to get sober
I know your parents never listen when you say that you feel down
It was three years 'till you were free
You made it, man you're eighteen now
But you called me yesterday
In a blue hospital gown
I never thought this would be the way
You got yourself out of that town
But it's a smaller mess when you look from far away
Give yourself my best, tell her I love her anyway
Saw your name carved in the bed
Of some place from long ago
Now I sleep here instead
Just thought that I would let you know
Five little letters from the better days when you could get some rest
There was no beeping of the monitors
To match the beating in your chest
The nights when I would stay up late and text into the void
I knew you wouldn't answer, but I found solace in the noise
And it's a smaller mess when you look from far away
Give yourself my best, tell her I love her anyway
You're like salty water onto sand
Trying to hold you in my hands
But you're slipping through and falling farther than I can imagine
Imagine
And it's a smaller mess when you look from far away
Give yourself my best, tell her I love her anyway
How's the hospital today?
I heard your one on one is over
Now that life's out of the way
Is it more enticing to get sober?
