We were two kids
Seeing the world
In all of its glory
Pretending to like what the teacher likes
Growing up at seventeen
I couldn't believe
The things you were writing
True prose
Ahead of your time
The pain started
And we didn't get it
Buried our heads in the sand
We were too young
To understand all these problems
We were
A great team
Didn't you see
You were a big part of my life
And now you
Fly between the stars at night
And I don't know
How to understand it all
Running slows to a crawl
I did not forget your life
After all of this time
I felt so guilty
When you were gone
I couldn't sleep
Why was I the one to survive
A quick trip to Spain
I couldn't arrange
I regret it
It's insane
I still think of it all the time
The pain started
And we didn't get it
How were we to know
We were too young
To understand all these problems
We were
A comedy team living the dream
You were a big part of my life
And now you
Fly between the stars at night
And I don't know
I'm working through what I can
This wasn't in the plans
But I will still honor your life
For the rest of time
On holidays we gather
Remembering the laughter
So what is the matter
We were too young
To understand all these problems
We were
A great team
Didn't you see
You were a big part of my life
And now you
Fly between the stars at night
And I don't know
How to understand it all
Running slows to a crawl
I did not forget your life
After all of this time
