the streets are wet
the sky is leaking
got 26 miles to home,
and me i'm thinking
about the blue behind these dark grey clouds
and how you used to say my name out loud
but now you're all grown up
and you've got somewhere else to be.
you'd play piano
while i'd rest my eyes.
when you got worried,
i'd sing you Jackson 5
'cause it was simple
and you liked the melody.
ow i'm sitting in this dusty apartment.
wishing someone would play some piano for me.
sometimes i wonder if you,
do you still let me sing to you through your radio?
with that record i made for you a few years ago...
does it still make you smile? d
oes it still make you wish you were alive?
'cause i know you died the day i said goodbye.
why did i say goodbye?
i would have never learned the word
if i would have known this
is what it feels like to want to die.
the sun's shining now
and i'm just walking down broad street.
doing my best not to step on the cracks.
'cause i don't want my mom to get hurt because of me.
i've already lied enough,
so now i'm thinking about tomorrow
and how it's really not worth it
if it's not on purpose.
and i stop and smile 'cause i'm
lying to myself again.
just a kid with too many tshirts
and a best friend named justin
yeah we talk a lot of shit
and we can plan a few ben folds songs on our keyboards,
but we're not that great, so that's pretty much it.
we sing along to Brand New songs,
like "Soco Armiretto Lime"
and another i don't know the name,
but i'm pretty sure it's track 5.
i don't need nothing,
i'm quite alright.
i don't need nothing else,
i'm quite alright.
we don't need nothing,
we're quite alright.
we don't need nothing else,
we're quite alright
