Just One Note, Please

The streets are wet

The sky is leaking

Got 26 miles to home,

And me I'm thinking

About the blue behind these dark grey clouds

And how you used to say my name out loud

But now you're all grown up

And you've got somewhere else to be.

You'd play piano

While I'd rest my eyes.

When you got worried,

I'd sing you Jackson 5

'Cause it was simple

And you liked the melody.

Now I'm sitting in this dusty apartment.

Wishing someone would play some piano for me.

Sometimes I wonder if you,

Do you still let me sing to you through your radio?

With that record I made for you a few years ago...

Does it still make you smile?

Does it still make you wish you were alive?

'Cause I know you died the day I said goodbye.

Why did I say goodbye?

I would have never learned the word

if I would have known this

Is what it feels like to want to die.

The sun's shining now

And I'm just walking down broad street.

Doing my best not to step on the cracks.

'Cause I don't want my mom to get hurt because of me.

I've already lied enough,

So now I'm thinking about tomorrow

And how it's really not worth it

If it's not on purpose.

And I stop and smile 'cause I'm

Lying to myself again.

Just a kid with too many tshirts

And a best friend named justin

Yeah We talk a lot of shit

And we can plan a few ben folds songs on our keyboards,

But we're not that great, so that's pretty much it.

We sing along to Brand New songs,

Like "Soco Armiretto Lime"

And another I don't know the name,

But I'm pretty sure it's track 5.

I don't need nothing,

I'm quite alright.

I don't need nothing else,

I'm quite alright.

We don't need nothing,

We're quite alright.

We don't need nothing else,

We're quite alright
