lirik lagu otis/carl – spanish love songs
[verse 1]
i’m supposed to be stoic
as i wipe the tears off of my face
watch the ships off the coast of mexico
block it out as they roll away
i still see you smiling
even as i’m selfish as i’ve ever been
see you sitting in your chair
i see you singing happy birthday
[verse 2]
i got the call in june
but couldn’t bring myself to see you
or even get you on the phone
i wanted you to remember me in perfection
but really i’m, i’m just a f-cking coward
i couldn’t stand to see you die
and i was dealing with my own sh-t
if i’m being honest, mom said you’d understand
but i don’t blame you if you didn’t
[chorus]
and i’m on the docks again
looking out at that awful ocean
watching the tide take you away
i know you ain’t resting your bones
i know you ain’t made it back home
at least the loneliness gave you a break
[verse 3]
we never held a funeral
’cause of the consequence they bring
letting go is never easy
even when you’re empty and even when you’re alone
i hope they played you otis redding
i hope you heard me hum along
as those arms of yours went down into the dark
[chorus]
and i’m on the docks again
looking out at that awful ocean
watching the tide take you away
i know you ain’t resting your bones
i know you ain’t made it back home
at least the loneliness gave you a break
[bridge]
and my phone rang a year later
with your smile haunting me
and i finally broke at a rental home
in joshua tree
and i tell myself it gets better
but it never gets any easier when your voice
it ain’t on the other side
[verse 4]
i hope they played you otis redding
i hope you remembered i named my guitar
after your favorite singer of your favorite song
and i break down every time i see
that old spanish nylon that you bought
it never comes off the shelf anymore
[chorus]
i’m on the docks again
looking out at that awful ocean
watching the tide take you away
i know you ain’t resting your bones
i know you ain’t made it back home
at least the loneliness
at least the loneliness gave you a break
