One Last Letter...
If you’re reading this
There’s something I want to tell you
There’s something you ought to know
I will lock you in my memories
Tell me I’ll never be alone
Tell me I’m sleeping and I’m dreaming
Maybe I’ll find out in the end
That when you’re gone it's just the beginning
And one day I’ll see you again
So, save us tonight
Save us four children
As we fight to survive
We’re holding onto wishes
To just stay alive
In 6 feet of sadness
Just save us tonight
As we write one last letter...
Dear to whom this may concern
I found that pull in my soul
And played it out with my guitar
I can call you my pulse
You’re the closest thing to my heart
I can call you the notes
You put the step in my song
You found the light in the storm
Now the drops seem to crash
and if this cigarette would last
I could put the rest to the past
If I could write you a letter
What would I say
If I could start this all over
what would I change
I don’t know what to think
I don’t know where to go
I don’t know who to trust
I don’t know if I know
Does this all get better?
Do I get on my knees?
Do I pray to Jesus?
Will he change anything?
Does he even hear us?
Or do I need to scream?
Save me, whoever
As we write this last letter
It’s 21 years from the start
Sitting on the porch in the back of the yard
I think it was summer of 96 when I asked
"Will you be here forever?" You smiled
And answered yes
So, Save us tonight
Save us four children
From heartache tonight
And we’ll dream of wishes
To just stay alive
In six feet of sadness
As we write one last letter…
