I can't recall the last time that we talkedAbout anything but looking out for copsWe got cigarette burns in the same side of our hands, we ain't friendsWe're just morons, who broke skin in the same spotBut I've never seen you take a turn that wideAnd I'm high enough to still care if I dieSo I tried to read the thoughts that you'd worked overtime to stopYou said, "Fuck off," and I said nothin' for a while
You know I think about you all the timeAnd my deep misunderstanding of your lifeAnd how bad it must have been for you back thenAnd how hard it was to keep it all inside
I hope you settlе down, I hope you marry richI hope you're scarеd of only ordinary shitLike murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skinAnd not your soul and what He might do with it
You inched yourself across the great divideWhile we drove aimlessly along the Twin State lineI heard nothing but the bass in every ballad that you'd playWhile you swore to God the singer read your mindBut the world is scared of hesitating thingsYeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot singAnd I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfairIt was to stare ahead like everything was fine
You know I think about you all the timeAnd my deep misunderstanding of your lifeAnd how bad it must have been for you back thenAnd how hard it was to keep it all inside
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich (Oh-oh)I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit (Oh-oh)Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin (Oh-oh)And not your soul and what He might do with it
Ah-oh
Rage, in small waysDid you wish that I could knowThat you'd fade to some placeI wasn't brave enough to go?
I hope you settle down, I hope you marry richI hope you're scared of only ordinary shitLike murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skinAnd not your soul and what He might do with it
Ah (Ah), woahAhAh, LordAh
I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glassI hope you're with someone who isn't scared to askI hope that you're not losing sleep about what's nextOr about your soul and what He might do with it
