This Is a Song About Tom Brandow

Hey there Tom it's been almost a year
I've been trying so hard to fight against these tears
That I've been shedding since November
But who knows cause I can't remember
I've been praying to God hoping I would see you soon
But it might be us getting drunk and singing out of tune
To Elton John's Tiny Dancer
But who knows if I will remember
I'll see you on Sunday maybe at church
Or maybe somewhere else but who knows I will search
I'm sitting here with paper and pen
Trying to figure out when I'll see you again

Hey there Tom I haven't seen you around
I've been sitting in my room jamming out to Jackson Browne
And how you got so far
To seeing all of his guitars
I can still recall the time we spent the Friday night
Jamming on the piano to Ben Folds Five
In front of my mom and dad
And to be honest it wasn't that bad
I think of all the times when I would leave home
And I would tell you don't worry cause you're not alone
Instead I sit here with paper and pen
Still trying to figure out when I'll see you again

I'm not scared
I'm not scared of you

Though I'm not afraid of death but I'm afraid of dying young
I can't get over the fact that we will soon be turned into dust
And all this nothing we turn into
I'd like to think is something
That you can make of
And it makes no fucking sense if Sarah can't get by
No matter how hard she does no matter how hard she tries
Again and again is all we do
It just gets so much harder thinking about you
I cry myself to sleep at night
If that is what it will take just to see you again one more time

I am not scared of you
But if you say I am then maybe it's true

Hey there Tom I really fucking miss you
I wish we could do all the things we said we'd do
Like maybe start our own band
But instead you became my biggest fan
I'm sitting here with paper and pen
Still trying to figure out when I'll see you again
Which I hope is soon
