(album: Parachutes - 2016)

Time keeps speeding but I'm left behind.
I know you'd tell me I was okay.
I've been thinking about the days to come,
And if I could ever put the past in its place.

I think about it all the time.
You made me feel like, I was more than enough.

I've been pretending, that I'm doing fine…
Not sure I did that great a job.
I think about it all the time.
I couldn't miss you anymore than I do.

The greatest man that ever lived was born November 5th.
He taught me everything I know, he proved to me that gods exist.
The greatest man that ever lived, he had the same first name
As my dad and myself and I hate that I hated it, but now all I know is I'll never live up to it.

I think about it all the time.
I couldn't miss him anymore than I do right now.

The greatest man that ever lived, he died September 6th.
He left a void inside my world and I've felt this lost ever since.
The greatest man that ever lived was more than my best friend.
He was my hero, I basked in his shadow. The words that he said, were everything, everything.

I think about it all the time.
I curse the heavens that took you away.
I think about it all the time.
I couldn't miss you anymore than I do right now.

The greatest man that ever lived was born November 5th.
He made the world a better place just by being part of it.
The greatest man that ever lived, he died September 6th.
But the love in my heart and the fire in my soul are a testament that he never truly left.
