lyrics

She wakes up to tell him that she loves him
He don't wake up to hear the good news
He's fallen asleep for the last time tonight
Traded light for a dark kind of tune

The kids will come down for a couple of weeks
Shuffle papers and talk about his life
Finding hidden old wishes and confessional kisses
Then leave before it's her turn to cry

The funeral was brief and like a bad kind of joke
They got his hometown and his kids' names both wrong
But we were all moved to tears when his brother stood up
and sang a version of his favorite song

So we hold on to a ghost of his memories
Built on laughter and a couple of frowns
And I can't help but think about how they fucked up our names
and forgot what to call his home town

They prepare you for grief in the highest
They don't tell you about all the work on the back end and the time
Calling debtors and friends while you've still got your head
For God's sake get mama some wine

We've taken hundreds of messages from strangers and from friends
I think the fridge just might burst at the seams
I think mama might start a riot
if she ever sees a lily again

So we hold on to a ghost of his memories
Built on laughter and a couple of frowns
And I can't help but laugh about how they fucked up our names
and forgot what to call his home town

She's stronger than iron a sharper than steel
I guess i'm glad he went first in a way
Still I wish that I could or maybe wish I know how
To say "I love you and I hope you're okay"
