lyrics

I've fucking counted everyday
since I've seen your smiling face
I've got a lot of words that you'll never hear
and that's a lot to stomach
I feel just like you did back in 1972
it took you being gone for me to feel
the pain that you went through
just promise me this ain't some legacy
of men who hardly broke thirty
the suns going down, pain sets in, my heart slows
it's these moments where I need you most
I can still feel your ghost
just like you never left
I walk these streets as half the man i used to be
I never sleep, and never will,
you're always on my mind
time spent being so low has taught me patience
but I'd kill to hear your voice, or see your face
just one last time
I remember being young
back when i had clean lungs
the hot summer days
down at the reservoir
I remember the sun, the way it hit your smile lines
and those blue eyes, I've got the same ones
and I aspire to be
the man you were at your peak
you've got a home in my heart
and I'll push forward though weak in the knees
I've been down this road, it's one you may know
but I walked it alone, as I watched you erode
it's an irish goodbye to all the good times
all that's tall falls so hard
all momentum eventually slows
I'll never take another thing for granted
but hindsight's twenty fucking twenty
i hope you know i know you always loved me
if you can hear me
