is the weight of the world wreaking its havoc is the state of affairs so scary it hurts is that venomous voice in your head automatic just letting you have it making you feel like dirt baby you're the damn grand canyon baby you're a big great lake you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space all those tall sequoias they didn't grow in just one day you know a landmark kind of life takes time and time is on the way time is on the way carving marvels out of clay yeah time is on the way is the hardest part of your day in the morning turn on your phone, feel alone, and lament does the pressure you feel steal your breath without warning feel that furrowed brow forming making you feel irrelevant baby you're the damn grand canyon baby you're a big great lake you got that majesty, that beauty you can see from outer space all those tall sequoias they didn't grow in just one day you know a landmark kind of life takes time and time is on the way time is on the way carving marvels out of clay yeah time is on the way time is on the way coming round to save the day so slow down, let it pave the way yeah time is on the way Verse: C F C G (end on C) Chorus: F C Am Em F G (end on C) you had a big heart that bloomed like a flower you had a smooth voice that sailed like a ship you had a strong spine built like a tower you had a sweet smile just like a kid’s ever yours, ever mine you taught me how to wait until the scar turns to a shine ever green, ever blue the color of my eyes now that they won't be seeing you i had a hard time when you caught that fever i had a long cry alone in my car i had this pipe dream you'd live forever i got this feeling you did not go far ever mine, ever yours our souls outlast the dusty bones of death and dinosaurs ever long, evermore on a scale of one to ten, my friend, i miss you 94

everyone’s wearing black everyone looks so sad everyone can be seated now everyone ends up dead everyone bow your head everyone remember was there a time or two or three he had you laughing? was he with you giving tissues when you cried? was he the kind of kind worth photographing in your mind? did he give you a good story for the day he died? everyone goes to bed everyone ends up dead everyone will live another day everyone still misses everyone reminisces everyone has something to say was there a time or two or three he had you laughing? was there a moment you just had to memorize? was he the kind of kind worth photographing in your mind? did he give you a good story for the day he died? right this way ma'am to the finish line i was never in your lane, you were never in mine do what you gotta do, girl go get that win did you do it the right way? honey let's not pretend sometimes you must choose to lose with a shrug and a grin come with me friend to the starting line you know i got your back, i hope you still got mine do what we gotta do to begin again i won't fight for a prize but I'll fight for a friend Verse: Amaj7 A7sus2 A6sus4 AM7sus2 // Amaj7 A7sus2 A6sus4 Amaj7 (?) Chorus: Bm7 E Amaj7 // A6sus4 AM7sus2 (?) when the novel becomes a chapter when the chapter becomes a line when the story you’ve been chasing after becomes once upon a time tear it up and let it fly tell it to somebody in the sky punctured or punctuated by the dot above the i when a friendship becomes a footnote when a hug becomes parentheses when the story you thought you wrote becomes whose words were these? Verse: E B A E Chorus: A Am E // B A E sit still, don't breathe this is how you leave, you have been deceived nostrils flare, scared eyes you can't event cry, you are paralyzed the fleeting fox, the hunting hound chase each other around was it real, or just pretend? tell me this isn't all there is to being a friend deceased, you feast tell me how i taste at least pursed lips, time drips what a winning waste of a losing grip detect, report truth and lies distort, where's my life support refuge, refugee this is how you flee - showing no mercy i've got a friend who thinks she's jesus but only when she's starting to climb if you take away the storm she's braving i think she does enough saving on her own time she don't need the divine i've got a friend simply known as V to us she gives music away for the joy that it brings she lives beautiful verse after verse and sometimes that chorus can hurt but she's gonna play anyway she's gonna sing she's got a friend who'll stand in her corner round after round swing after swing i've seen some scary shit but i'm not afraid of it cause she gave that gift to me i'm in a band with my friend veronica sometimes she's in command sometimes i tow the line so V i'm gonna wait for you in every single waiting room i don't care how many times cause time always takes time i've got a friend and she's got me
i used to cast my light like a net on the sea
when i came around you would shimmer for me now my spotlight might be something you dread like a jailbird ducking away or running ahead is it just me or is the fog rolling in thicker cause what used to beam now only seems to be a flicker i might look good, i might seem strong but you are wrong, i'm just stuck in the moss tell me where should a lighthouse look when it's lost? i used to take each wave with a grain of salt thought the price of love was the pain of assault now when the wind howls, i tower, irate at the owl and the moon that i imitate oh the brutal ache of phantom limbs makes for futile shakes of your hands my friend my armless body's head just spins and i’m jealous of the seagull’s glide i search for days less tall, more wide oh a glow is just a glare with too much pride to die she ain't no ordinary mama, she might like you a lot but not as much as drama and you, you don't want no drama she ain't no ordinary sister she's going down and she wants to take you with her and you, you're too smart to sink you should stop giving swimming lessons, that ain't your new profession you don't owe her progression, that's what i think she ain't no ordinary lover she likes to be the victim; one day she will discover you know love won't point the blame she ain't no ordinary honey erasing all her problems by spending daddy's money and you know love don't cost a thing i know you don't want to hear it you're still not used to these words until you're thinking clearly let me tell you what i think you're worth you ain't no ordinary lassie you keep it kind, thoughtful and classy and you have a heart that grows you should start taking flying lessons make that your new profession you owe yourself progression, that's what i know |
