Two nights ago, I dreamt that you came home, it felt so real, to hold you still, it’s all I know but when I woke you just let go, but when I woke you just let go,
Two weeks in a row, the tears and hope they come and go, nobody knows what’s killing you slow, of course they don’t, I asked daddy to go, I wanna see you alone, but he won’t,
There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, we were caught in the rising tide, I was there by your right side, I was better when you were alive, it was never the right time, you were caught in the rising tide,
You took some part of me, I already know I’ll never be the same, you bought this guitar for me, now I’ll never be home so I write down my soul I’m forever your own,
Two months ago, you and I were alone, we were mother and son, until the whole thing came undone, she knows she broke my heart and strained my soul, she broke my heart and strained my soul,
Who knew you’d leave so soon? I wanna know, who made these plans for you, well maybe I don’t, I’ll just ask him myself when I walk down that road,
There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, we were caught in the rising tide, someone covered the sunlight, in forever the night time, so we could stare at the full moon, and its effects on the rising tide, I was having a tough time, she was having a rough night, we were losing a life line, I could see when I looked in her eyes, they were touching her insides, something was not right, I didn’t wanna believe you, I knew my mother was losing the fight,
… I wanna know,
Two nights ago, I dreamt that you came home, it felt so real, to hold you still it’s all I know but when I woke you just let go, but when I woke you just let go,
You were living a good life, only fighting the good fight, and my memory’s stretched so thin, I’m forgetting the rest of my lines, as I try to explain to her grandkids, she’ll be going away for a while, there was never a bright side, it was never the right time, just some tears on a notebook, from the son she was leaving behind,
We were watching the sunrise, I was holding her hand so tight, when I told you I loved you, must’ve said it a thousand times, there was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, you were caught in the rising tide, I was there by your right side, fell asleep at your bedside, dad wouldn’t go home, they could tell you were husband and wife,
I was having a tough time, she was having a rough night, we were losing a life line, I could see when I looked in her eyes, they were touching her insides, something was not right, I didn’t wanna believe you, my poor mother was losing the fight,
You were having a nightmare, and maybe the same one as mine, I forgot how to swim in the ocean, so I drowned in the rising tides,
There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties and I’ll carry that with me the rest of my life,
There was never a bright side, it was never the right time, couldn’t sever the right ties, you were caught in the rising tide, we were caught in the rising tide.
