(I wanna remember this)
ย
On a school night deep in Denburn I watched Jacob kill a little cat
While his brother's friends recorded it
They put him on their shoulders
And cheered him back to his mother's house
And I stayed back and buried it
At a party pity invite, I wandered to the living room
Where I saw him on the phone with his dad
Their family dog had cancer, she starred in every Christmas card
I could see in his eyes she was dead
And ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh,
We spend all our time proving to no one we don't cry
If no one sees it, then it never happened
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, I turned and walked out
But God, I would cry with him now, God I would cry with him now
Used to get texts on holidays from Thomas on his dad's phone
With a bible quote to save me from hell
Door to door we went selling Christmas wreaths to our neighbours
To prove who's the better boy scout
His dad was our troop leader, and he never smiled at his son
And he hated when I hugged him goodbye
The last time I saw Thomas, he said his dad was blocking my number,
But he never said why
And he turned before he started to cry
And ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh,
We spend all our time proving to no one we don't cry
If no one sees it, then it never happened
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh, Thomas moved out of town
And God, I just cry for him now, gotta just cry for him now
