Echo In The Corner Of The Room

(album: Everything Seems Like Yesterday - 2020)

I thought we had grown up but I've been broken
I never learned to be as tough as this
A sorry doesn't do you any justice
So who the fuck am I to say you're missed

Nobody ever told me you were perfect
I barely even knew ya when you passed
A death is only half as strong as you were
And your teeth were bright horizons when you laughed
It's hard to keep a memory in the past

But I knew
That you'd come through
As an echo in the corner of the room
And you do

Well did you find a point in all this talking
Is there anything you wish you could have kept
There's a drug for every pain that you are feeling
You can drink yourself to sleep where Jesus wept
Like a city in the heat with wet cement

But I knew
That you'd come through
As an echo in the corner of the room
Now I know
That you let go
Cause the echo sounds a lot more like the you
I know, oh
