Loose Ends

(Album: The Space Between - 2021)

CDs in their covers all the tapes thrown out
Yeah we made mistakes I lost count, last count
Summer nearly over it's already dark now
Somewhere on the way I guess we grew up
Every time I drive past your old place now
Think of all your dreams that we'd talk about
Wonder how your big plans all worked out
Hope the future was good to ya

We blink it's gone
Look around, we ain't kids no more
Never be what it was before, no no
How it go, you can never go home
Keep moving forward
Let the fork in the road change course
Always be a piece of me that's yours, oh oh
I don't know much, but I know that

Some loose ends don't get tied up
Still seem real enough to touch
Made my peace with letting go
All those things we don't need to know because
Some loose ends don't get tied up

Dear summer, I was right there
Window down, Jeezy floating through the night air
Didn't know where we headed but I'll drive there
Must have seemed something like your parents nightmares, ha
Hurricane youth saved patience for the calm
Loved your head to your toes to the bracelets on your arm
Swore we'd ride together, burn bright forever
Through highs and lows, through wins and lessons
With one hand on the wheel and one on your thigh
Still seems real on nights like tonight
Could reach out and touch you, hell of a ride
The walk in my life to the long kiss goodbye
The hurt when we know it can't work
Be a whole lot of love but there's only one first
There's only one you, there's only one me
But it's only one life so it's how it's gotta be

We blink it's gone
Look around, we ain't kids no more
Never be what it was before, no no
How it go, you can never go home
Keep moving forward
Let the fork in the road change course
Always be a piece of me that's yours, oh oh
I don't know much, but I know that

Some loose ends don't get tied up
Still seem real enough to touch
Made my peace with letting go
All those things we don't need to know because
Some loose ends don't get tied up

Don't get tied oh don'tget tied up
Won't get fired oh won't get fired up
Every breath was a memory in my lungs
Every breath was another day young and dumb

Don't get tied oh don't get tied up
Won't get fired oh won't get fired up
Every breath was a memory in my lungs
Every breath was another day young and dumb

Some loose ends don't get tied up
Still seem real enough to touch
Made my peace with letting go
All those things we don't need to know because
Some loose ends don't get tied up

Some loose ends don't gettied up
Still seem real enough to touch
Made my peace with letting go
All those things we don't need to know because
Some loose ends don't get tied up
