If I had talked to you that night
I’d say ‘see you soon and have a blast’
but you cannot speak to the dead
in a bar with your mouth around a glass
and catching up takes time
without him by your side
everybody keeps telling you that you’ll be alright
Avoidable complications
too complex to discuss in a rock song
insurmountable alienation
sits on your shoulder
and before long
There’s no right and there’s no wrong
there’s just what is, will be and was
If I had talked to you that night
I’d have cracked a joke and made you laugh
but you cannot amuse the dead
playing Frisbee in a park in France
and catching up takes time
without him by your side
I guess everybody was right
you’re doing just fine
3am conversations
inappropriate for a rock song
insurmountable alienation
sits on your shoulder and before long
There’s no right and there’s no wrong
there’s just what is, will be or was
