Lyrics

You Made Me Want To Be a Saint

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

It was how Dave said "us"

Like the last three years had never happened

It was how George walked down and threw dirt onto the casket

It was how I know you would want this to be a fast one

And not some cliché ballad

I'm slowing down in the August air

A heavy heart and shaking hands carried you up here

I buried half of a decade there

It was the better part

You'd catch the reference if only you could hear

Because I can still hear you in the bass drum beat after "I'll Catch You"

I'm left wondering if you meant anything when you typed out

"You never got me down, Ray. I never went down"

You know the fucked up part is

I kind of always knew we'd have to write a song about this

You know the fucked up part is

I had my fingers crossed that it wouldn't be for you, kid

You know the fucked up part is

It's been months, and I still have nightmares

You know the fucked up part is

I'm never going back there

You know the fucked up part is

Fuck!
