lirik lagu nobody’s home – emily williamson
[chorus : emily williamson & curtis mayfield]
everybody get around and listen to my song
i’ve only got one
[verse 1]
hey grandpa
i left a picture on your grave but i’m not sure you saw it
just saying your grandson is grown now, ain’t he ?
taller than his other brother, we had a hard time admitting
sometimes i walk by your house and i reminisce
the wooden garage, the kangaroo prints in the alley
my heart falling into the darkest valley
but, i don’t wanna talk about it, or should we ?
say that i wanted to die so bad, i’m sorry
crying like that was fifty years ago
but losing you keeps me in yesterday’s sorrow
and i’m sorry, i couldn’t pull myself together
cried like a baby and still doing it but whatever
you made me a better person and i took the chance
too bad you had to leave me to make me change
nah i didn’t change, it all changed around me
blinded by darkness, joy wasn’t far but i couldn’t see
[chorus : emily williamson & curtis mayfield]
everybody get around and listen to my song
i’ve only got one
[verse 2]
hey grandma
i saw you in my dreams again, just like yesterday
every day is the same, grey blood runs in my veins
the truth is i hate to see you again
because everything i do reminds me of the pain
but i close my eyes hoping i’ll come back to that dream
so we’ll sit at the same table and talk about it
and i’ll tell you how i feel about you
i’ll tell you how i’m feeling about letting you go
how i smiled at you on sat-rday, turned my back
and saw you crying because you knew
i know i failed you, i failed school
wanted to be like you, but couldn’t do it
wanted you to stay, i looked at you and smiled
just letting you know it’s okay you let go
it’s all good, we love you, i’m just wondering why
you left us and now our lives are gone bad and wild
[chorus : emily williamson & curtis mayfield]
everybody get around and listen to my song
i’ve only got one
[verse 3]
had conversation with god but he ain’t been replying much
i thought he could help, thought he had the midas touch
they said you’ll get over it in less than a year
bro it’s been three and i’m still here
i’ve been to church today but n0body’s home
yes god left me, or did i leave him alone?
lately i’ve been living life in slo mo
with my friend alcohol but really in solo
i wanna live but i can’t seem to finish the checklist
emily do you want to die alone or die the greatest ?
i need religion man, i wanna be god’s witness
with closed eyes, i can’t die now, need a few minutes
to tell you hate is powerful and you shouldn’t use it
to tell alicia, nina and mom thanks to you i made it
to tell doctors i’m mad but you’ll be forgiven
to tell me i got the finger on the trigger and i shouldn’t pull it
[chorus : emily williamson & curtis mayfield]
everybody get around and listen to my song
i’ve only got one
