I went to your mother’s wake
To see her peaceful face
And as she smiles down
Her husband cries
And dripping from my eyes
Was a fluid realization
A fire scorches the wick of connections
Webs of truce burn in every direction
So, so alone
I wanna come home to someone who cares
When abbrevity is life and reality death
Oh, man!
I wish I had
Someone to talk to
Oh, man!
I wish I had
What I had with you
I could smile like I don’t care
I could dial up anywhere
Stay there for the night
And start a new life
But just one word from you
Just a summon
I’ll be charging through
The mounds of guilt
And trouble we’ve built
Yeah, honestly it may be an overdone confession
How can you relate?
You’re only soul’s stuck to your shoes
You used to walk away
But I fight to chase the lesson
Lock your heart and save
Until the one option is you
I’ll wait like I need to
And say things like we’re meant to be
