letra de 51 - overgrow

Loading...

the house that i grew up in is getting darker now these days
and the pictures on its walls got me shaking in my frame
’cause it’s been four weeks since you left and i can’t escape the thought
of that 4:30 phone call where she said, “son, your father, he’s gone”

and i could hear her voice shake as i put my car in park
and as that panic slowly set in, my only thought was hanging up
i found myself sitting in traffic – mad as h-ll, alone with my thoughts
of how i never said goodbye, or told you that i loved you enough

and as i pulled up onto the street where i grew up
the neighbors stood in silence, but their faces said enough
and as i stepped out onto the street i learned to walk
i realized the cop cars had all their sirens off

i spent some time in a dark booth in some sh-tty brooklyn bar
looking through old photographs and wondering where you are
i tried to write some words to speak in the front seat of a car
but the only thing that i could think of was, “how could i get to where you are?”

and as i pulled up onto the street where i grew up
there was only a haunting silence that would the falling leaves disrupt
and as i climbed the steps to the house i learned to love
i felt the earth exhale the dirt and the roof caved in on us

i never thought that day in your garage
would become the last time we talked
and i’m sorry i was busy the last time you called
there’s not a thing i wouldn’t give up for another chance to talk

your girlfriend told us about your plans and your friends came by in waves
and all those words shared on tear-stained page echoed in one loud refrain
and as the color from the sky all ran into this shade of grey
i hope you know that i love you, and i’ll miss you more each day
