lyrics

You gave a lot, I gave a little
You played guitar, I played the fiddle
And I didn’t know what you’d do when we hit it big
You’d write the music, I’d write the words
It didn’t matter, ‘cause no one ever heard
Except my mom came down to our first gig

At grad we played a song for them
Quick to applaud and to condemn
And I didn’t know what you’d do when I had to leave
You came around to my new friends
I knew the party had to end
When I saw the chevron on your jacket sleeve

I still have your rhyming dictionary
My imaginary adversary voluntary military
Honorary burial at an arbitrary mortuary
January February temporary solitary

Your father told me that you’re gone
Then why is your light always on?
The windowpane broke with a rock but the blinds stayed drawn
I dreamed you came to our old school
It was too late, woke up in April
I don’t know why that’s in here when it doesn’t rhyme

I still have your rhyming dictionary
My imaginary adversary voluntary military
Honorary burial at an arbitrary mortuary
January February temporary solitary

Dry-eyed sigh can’t satisfy the sky
