lyrics

When I met you last week, you meant everything to me, I was dreaming in the backseat, didn’t need anyone but you. And next week you’ll turn 21, the army’s gunna snap you up and run, they’re gunna float you down to Florida, ship you to Chicago, stone sober, you and your fiance both.

    Let it be no question, at any second, I could go out of breath if I had to tell someone all the reasons why I’m so grateful you were always there, when no one else was around who cared, you were the only one that came to the hospital when I didn’t think a better world was possible.

    You’ve made it easy for me to see that anybody who says they’ve never died inside is positively full of it, with a life so long you’re bound to mess up half the trip, and no happiness is ever out there looking for you, so reaching for it’s all that you can ever truly do.

    So if there’s someone who gives you their sun when you can’t find none, and they never ask for nothing in return, my advice would be to keep them close, and not to hold your tears when you’ve gotta let them go.
