I Remember

I remember when we were skin and bone, tough and cruel

But bruises brown and fade away

Trinkets in a coat pocket stolen from kids at school

Burned a hole and fed a shame

Someone should have told you that you'd always have

A place to go

Oh, we thought you would have known

Someone should have told you that you'd never find

Yourself alone

Oh, we lost you to the snow

I remember when we would hang about in hollow trees

New sounds, sitting smoking leaves

Walking past boarded up windows gets you down

Shit town, knew you couldn't breathe

Someone should have told you that you'd always

Have a place to go

Oh, I thought you would have known

Someone should have told you that you'd never

Find yourself alone

Oh, we lost you to the snow

Or maybe you climbed out after all?

I didn't wait around to see you fall

Found you on facebook soft and warm

You must have known it
