lyrics

If I go I want you there with me
So we won’t have to go it alone
Will I feel my inner ear popping
From high above our home
And at best we’re left down here to guess
Just staring towards the moon
Well it’s so easy to believe
Because we’re all so damned immune
Denny will you meet me there
With Jim and Al and Jules
We could talk regrets, share missed sunsets
And how we were all fooled
Into thinking we were untouchable
For you those days came to an end
No way to tell when I’ll arrive
So keep good company my friend

It might be weighed on faulty scales
But are you worth your weight in gold?
Held accountable for your temperament
Whether hot, lukewarm or cold
They’ll judge you like you judged them all
With a tongue too heavy to hold
And the things you might have done [repeat]
While the watch-hand for you spun
Faces towards the heaven’s all searching for a sign
While prayers remain in hands that are too cracked to push them high
Sun cuts through the bitter sky to blind us all at once
Our collective vision grows [repeat]
As white as the falling snow

In the daily grind can’t proper qualify
How much this life is worth
And in my bleakest view the thought of loosing you
Makes my grounded organs surge
But don’t you dare because we’ll go together
As long as our hearts are pure
If I go tonight, stay near
With you on my back I’ll steer
And if you go I will stay close
I’ll never veer
I won’t let go
