I have forgotten all my "good ole days"

They're lost in some kind of chemical haze

Remember when it was all just a faze

And we blew past all the stop signs

Every night was the party of the year

I brought the pain and you brought the beer

We were so high we forgot how to fear

And we blew past all the stop signs

If I rubbed a lamp and a genie came out I'd probably use a death wish

But don't ask me how I'm doing because I'm doing just fine

My body is worn and my brain is a mess but my hearts still beating

And we blew past all the stop signs

Did I ever tell you I was color blind?

It's hard for me differentiate between shades and hues

Reds are just reds and yellows are just yellows

Oranges and purples and greens and blues

All the colors just look so simple to me

Except when I'm thinking about you

I see scarlet and cerulean and dandelion

I see maroon and periwinkle and teal

Life is breathed into once lifeless colors

To see you is only trumped by the ability to feel

Your skin under my fingers as I hold you

I press my lips on yours to seal the deal

It was never just a black and white world

But the colors were never as vibrant to me

Now I am surrounded by the depths of the world

I can experience to universe as it is meant to be

I know what life feels like to actually live it

I know what it's like to actually see

Uppercut

Batter up

Smoke infused

Solo cup

Never forget the dreams you never had

Never call on the friends you never had

Star-cross star-cross

Criss-cross apple sauce

Half-empty bottle rolling in the floor board

Half-empty tank of gas leaking on the highway

Thirty miles until my exit unless death comes first

All I know is that the latter would be my way

Uppercut

Batter up

Smoke infused

Solo cup

Star-cross star-cross

Criss-cross apple sauce

Wait by the road with your thumb in the air

I'll know it's you when the wind moves your hair

I got just one more bottle that you and I can share

But there's one thing of which you should be aware

The passenger seat is more of an electric chair

Star-cross star-cross

Criss-cross apple sauce

Uppercut

Batter up

Smoke infused

Solo cup

Drown me

Another bottle or two

And crown me

Say I'm a king to you

Forget about forgetting me

I won't go down so easily

Drown me

A fifth of regret

And crown me

But you won't forget

I'm your worst best memory

I won't go down so easily

So drown me

Crown me

Even look around me

But you found me

You found me

You tried to forget

But you found me

One more glass

Toast to the good times

One more sip

Pretend they were bad times

Do you miss me?

I have to know

I need the answer

And then I'll go

Do you still love me?

Is there a chance?

Or do you regret

Our failed romance?

Apologies can't cover how I feel

Would you even think it was real?

If I hold you one more time

In the blue moonlight

If I kiss you one more time

Would it make it all alright?

One more night before I say goodbye again

But I promise not to leave until then

I parked by my childhood home

We hadn't lived there in 2 decades

Bikes line the garage

Chalk covers the drive

A tire swing tied to the apple tree

I take one look and I know

Those kids are happier than I ever was

They say she used to be pretty

But he still saw it

They say she used to be sweet

But to him she still was

They say she used to be an angel

But he still saw the halo

Track marks and empty bottles

Loveless lovers and wasted nights

They say she's different then she was

But he never stopped feeling that love

They say he used to be handsome

But she still saw it

They say he used to be kind

But to her she still was

They say he used to be an angel

But she still saw the halo

Track marks and empty bottles

Loveless lovers and wasted nights

They says he's different than he was

But she never stopped feeling that love

Two people grew apart from a tragedy

Had to grieve a death by themselves

A happy couple turned into misery

Forever was forever they just never knew

They're buried together alongside the child

Track marks and empty bottles

Loveless lovers and wasted nights

They say they're different than they were

But they never stopped feeling that love

Yesterday a bird died

I saw it drop from the sky

I saw it hit the ground

I saw it die

Yesterday a bird died

And the worm carried on

It got to enjoy his day

Because the bird was gone

Yesterday a bird died

And it's only a little sad

What hurts the predator

Makes the prey glad

Yesterday a bird died

There were parties thrown

But also memorials

For the path not flown

Yesterday a bird died

I watched as he fell

To some he's in heaven

To others he's in hell
