lirik lagu an elegy of sorts (written from a porch) – a question of when
[verse 1]
if i could do one thing over
i don’t know what i’d choose…
maybe move to chicago when i left my mother’s womb
if i could see something from my porch rocking chair point*point*point*point*of*view;
it’s hazy when the fog clears from my drugstore spectacles
[pre*chorus 1]
promises that were never broken
they broke me in two
pride was just the tool, the mask, the barrier to truth, the burial of youth
[verse 2]
if i could hold one breath
it would be the one just before your exit
without expression or second*guеsses
and everyonе cared just a little
but no one cared just quite enough
they all got their reasons
you can never leave what you never, ever, ever, ever, ever left behind
[verse 3]
if i could leave one thing as is
it would be that moment with you
but just like a breath, it’s not the safest thing to hold onto
[verse 4]
if i could say something from your postscript point*of*view
i’d ask me where you really were when i really needed you
[bridge]
the clock’s hands are clapping
as though they are laughing down on me
it was always your anger
never my constant state of fear
we stand by your graveside
but it’s the loss of the living that we grieve
i’ll spread my own ashes
and dance as they scatter in the breeze
it’s the memory of you that i hold dear and true
but it’s more that you died than my love for you
[pre*chorus 2]
some words that are never spoken
they sound better said
sometimes it’s just letting go of that long he*he*he*held breath
[outro]
one thing (if i could do)… one thing (if i could do)…
one thing (if i could do)… one thing (if i could do)…
just one thing, just one thing
just one thing
just one one one one one one one one one one
one thing
