lyrics

Singing songs I write for you, your hair a ghostly shade of blue,
I don't know what you're going to do. You left when I was in the future.
I spent our time killing time, never making up my mind
+ when I thought that I could find you, you snuck out of you life and sighed.

Dear friend, hello. Hello, dear friend.

Like a cannonball, boots in hard heels. Our loves + fears + mutuals keel.
I think of you, a weight like steel, but the echoes in our heads are real.
The Winter Springs tree sings to me + my hero's spirit is good company
but nothing like him--he's still free, romanticized like you + me, dear friend.

Time to time, you show up here inside my mind but not so clear.
It's been so long since you were near me, cursing life + wasting the years.

My mind is gone. God save the dawn. I only know how breath is drawn.
The mean one is your favorite song. Where was I when you came along?
Because I think I simply forgot how to remain myself within a crowd.
The fan favorite plays + I fall down. I'm losing, dear friend, so won't you come around?
