Bilingual
I can't recall the last time that we talked
Without anything but looking out for calls
We got cigarette burns on the same side of our hands
We ain't friends, we're just morons
Who broke skin in the same spot
But I've never seen you take a turn that wide
And I'm high enough to still care if I died
So I tried to read the thoughts that you'd worked overtime to start
To set back off and I said nothing for a while
You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
And how bad it must have been for you back then
And how hard it was to keep it all inside
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of all the ordinariness
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul and what He might do with it
ย
You wished yourself across the great divide
While we drove aimlessly along the Twin State line
I heard nothing but the bass in every ballad that you'd play
While you swore to God the singer in you're mine
The world is scared of hesitating things
Yeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot sing
And I'm finally aware of how petty and unfair
It was to stare ahead like everything was fine
You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
And how bad it must have been for you back then
And how hard it was to keep it all inside
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich (ah)
I hope you're scared of all the ordinariness (ah)
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin (ah)
And not your soul and what He might do with it (ah)
Oh, Lord
Rage, and small ways
Did you wish that I could know
That you'd fade to some place
I wasn't brave enough to go
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of all the ordinariness
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul and what He might do with it
Ah (ah), Lord
Ah
Ah (hey)
Ah (ah)
I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass
I hope you're with someone who isn't scared to ask
I hope that you're not losing sleep 'bout what's next
Or about your soul and what He might do with it
