Time Turned Fragile
(Indisponível)
Tiny hands, recycled cans, and metal bands I could not stand..
The time you cried and threw your crayons across the floor...
These are the things I think about when I'm alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are.
We used to say that "you're just fine!"
But I still wonder all the time.
Hockey games, medical claims, police reports, terrible grades,
But Jay, I'm so proud of all the things you've done.
These are the things I think about when I'm alone without you
I wonder of your whereabouts and hope like hell you're happy where you are.
"I'm alright, I'm alright."
I can see through everything you say, and all the lessons I never learned..
You used to say that you were just fine..
But I still wonder all the time.
Do you still believe in the stories told
Do you buy my friends and I when you were four years old?
When it got so cold, our lips just froze,
And we had to wait 'til summer to find out what was said?
What of the best times that we had..
I know I say that I'm just fine,
But I hope you wonder from time to time.
I was nervous from the start that our muscles might tear us apart,
(Our muscles are tearing us apart..)
From the words that carve our lives to the words that take us by surprise,
(They could take her by surprise..)
From the sounds that disappeared to the changes we'd begin to fear,
(I can hear you clearly!)
One day I'll fail to breathe, and all you'll have are memories..
(All you have are memories.)
