Back To Nebraska

(album: Back To Nebraska - 2016)

Where we met
Beat-up strangers cheating death
Dirty minds and cigarettes
In an instant, we were friends
We laughed all night
Each new morning fizzy light
The greatest things I never knew
I learned from you

Spring emerged from the frost
We got to find what we lost
Forever after, back to Nebraska

You're gone, I forgot, I called you up
To say how sad I've been
I needed to hear your voice again
I feel you here all the time, your hand's in mine now
Everywhere I go
I will never be fine, forever's a fault line

My flight arrived
The doctor said you couldn't drive
You picked me up in that crazy ride
And we laughed until we cried
A year of grace
Teeming life beneath the waves
I held your body like a spoon
And died with you

You're gone, I forgot, I called you up
To say how sad I've been
I needed to hear your voice again
I feel you here all the time, your hand's in mine now
Everywhere I go
I will never be fine, forever's a fault line

Eddie picked up, said, "I feel so lost"
He said, "Yeah, I do too"
There wasn't much we could do but get right with the silence

You're gone, I forgot, I called you up
To say how sad I've been
I needed to hear your voice
Here all the time, your hand's in mine now
Everywhere I go
I will never be fine, forever's a fault line

Get right with the silence
Get right with the silence
We'll get right, right with the silence
We'll get right, right with the silence
Get right, get right with the silence
Get right, get right with the silence
