| The last summer that I saw you
|
| At the BP with no cash
|
| You were burnt out like an aspirin
|
| And I was melting on your dash
|
| And this was years ago when Richmond
|
| Was way out on the astral plane
|
| But it was fine 'cause I could see there was a light up in the tunnel
|
| It’s okay, you know I remember how you used to say
|
| When you finally go
|
| You’re gonna find out who you’ll miss the most
|
| Well, I guarantee you’ll find it is not me
|
| It won’t be any of the usual suspects, but whatever, man
|
| Soon enough you’re gonna find out who I mean
|
| When you go, you get to finally meet the one who tortured you
|
| The one who hurt you worse than anyone, even me
|
| And I’m just sorry that I won’t be there to tell you that I told you so
|
| But soon enough you’ll leave, and then you’ll see
|
| You’re the old sneakers on the floor, the coat by the front door
|
| The ashtray by the milk crate in the yard
|
| And you’re the dead fern in the hall, all the blanks in my recall
|
| The old Toyota van I sold for parts
|
| You were the house that they tore down
|
| It’s now a vacant block of land
|
| The ache I try to shake when I drive by
|
| And you’re the dog ear in the book
|
| I didn’t even know you looked at
|
| And then other times, you’re furthest from my mind
|
| Then I got something in the post, and there it is, your legal ghost
|
| And just goes to show, you know
|
| You’re kinda hard to leave behind
|
| I don’t wanna go out no more, just the thought makes me recoil
|
| It’s like that feeling when unwanted guests
|
| Come banging on your door
|
| They’re either too smart or too dumb
|
| Or they’re too weak or they’re too strong
|
| You said I’d be okay without you, yeah, you’ve been here all along
|
| You were the best time I remember, and I do 'cause life is dull
|
| It’s like you’re half the fucking neurons in my skull
|
| When you finally go, you’re gonna find the only thing you needed
|
| Did exactly as it should and got you through
|
| You did not need nobody’s help, just the idea of being helped
|
| Though at the time it wouldn’t have felt like that was true
|
| And when you go you’ll get to finally meet
|
| The one who tortured you
|
| The one that hurt you worse than everyone, even me
|
| But you’ll be fine
|
| 'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel
|
| I got a feeling it’ll happen soon for me
|
| But you’ll be fine
|
| 'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel
|
| I got a feeling it’ll happen soon
|
| But you’ll be fine
|
| 'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel
|
| I got a feeling it’ll happen soon to me
|
| But you’ll be fine
|
| 'Cause you could always see a light up in the tunnel
|
| I got a feeling it’ll happen soon |
