An Ode

I can feel my heartbeat drawn to the beat of another one

Standing in the doorway, tryna block the daylight before it comes

And you look so wonderful

Sleeping through the afternoon

As you're getting older, the promise of a future is all she wants

Spending all her time down by the water with her feral love

All those friends have grown up

No, you won't even recognize one in that place that she knew

There is no more

There's something in the air this Friday night

A blanket draped over the sky

Do you ever miss it

Destruction of your innocence?

Coasting through the airwaves, songs hang a note, they water the roots

Livin' with some old her, I'm just a poor boy you talk to

They don't care about you like I do

No, no one can tell me different

When it unraveled in front of you

You expected so much more

He's on the clock workin' nine to five

Paid his bills on time, still he don't feel right

And do you ever miss it

The things you loved when were a kid?

And do you ever miss it

A parent's love that's spread too thin?

And we're getting close

There it goes, another one down

There's another one down

We're getting close

There it goes, another one down

There's another one down

We're getting close

And do you ever miss it

The chances you'll never get again?
