How Is It There?

I called you out.

said where ya been?

Cuz I have been here,

growin up in my head.

I've been alone,

and in this small town,

I've killed myself

one too many times.

So I met you on a Thursday,

I said I am angry,

I said I am scared.

I asked you to care.

I called you out,

said where ya been?

you said you didnt know what I meant.

You said I'm a man now,

I am no longer a boy.

No wagging finger,

No woman's ploy,

is gonna claim me,

is gonna kill me,

is gonna shake me,

and who I am now.

And I called your name,

said are you there?

Cuz I am grateful

for the time that we shared.

I wrote you a letter.

Said how is it there?

is the weather sunshine,

are all predictions fair?

Cuz here it rains,

now and again.

But I got my strength back,

and I've got some friends.

and for that I thank you.

and for that I'm grateful.

grateful for you.
