letra de oil stains - woke up older

i should’ve seen the ice breaking
in the shattered glass of your car windshield
should’ve known you were sick
it’s too early to fall asleep at the wheel
i should’ve known when the nosebleeds came more frequent
when the cold sweats kept you awake at night
i stood and watched at a distance
where the setting sun began to rise
it haunts me

and i stood still
in the house that i grew up in
the living room is littered still
with your chipotle bags and napkins
as your oil stains on our driveway
fade away
when you went home that night
i didn’t even say goodbye
i should’ve known it was the last time
i watched your memory fade away
just like your engines oil stains
your car wreck left before it towed away
it haunts me

no i lay restless every night
these last six months have just flown on by
years of twin creeks football on my mind
i should’ve seen the tides changing
the waves start to recede
if i’d have spoken up they might have come again

but i stood still
in the house that i grew up in
the living room is littered still
with your chipotle bags and napkins
as your oil stains on our driveway
fade away

when you went home that night
i didn’t even say goodbye
i should’ve known it was the last time
i watched your memory fade away
just like your engines oil stains
your car wreck left before it towed away
it haunts me
i thought back through the story of the life you lived
dove headfirst into everything you did
and that’s why i loved it
the restless nights ease up as each new day goes by
as i learn to forgive myself well you
you walk with jesus

i’ve been running with you for so long
i’m still keeping pace
now that you’re gone
i’m still following
the tracks that you left in the snow
as you wandered off alone
in the sunset swallowed in red
and covered in flowers cast for the dead
as they put you to bed in the ground i lay here too
sobbing in my bathroom

so throw open the door
let the monsters all out
watch the light flooding into my parents house
as the sky turns to gray
i want to believe that nothing’s really changed but it has now
i’m learning every day to stand like you
i’ll keep holding down the fort but i’ll see you soon
when i walk with jesus too
