lyrics

Meaning: hardships can’t break up friendships. A tribute to Andrew G. and Paul M. of south Florida.

She’s sleeping now, doesn’t have to suffer no more
And yet you’re bitter, cracking jokes more cruel than you think…
…let’s clarify that.

You’re sitting on your roof, probably getting kicked out in a day
And your friend’s all across the Gulf, losing his mind
Can’t find the time to live.

Those two guys were very close and they said the same things,
Going through tests they fear to fail, going through things that don’t go so well.
And split apart by life’s misfortune, can’t muse in real life about politics anymore.
So close and so far away, so close and yet so far.

You’re sitting on your roof, probably getting kicked out in a day
And your friend’s all across the Gulf, losing his mind
Can’t find the time to live.

God, I’m so sorry for letting you down.
You wanted a hero and then you got me.
Trying to empathize with two guys I’ve never met
And yet it seems so real because it is.

Andrew and Paul are two near guys
Sure they do strange things, but they really do care
Life can’t fuck them over for other things
Because they’ll find a way to get through it fuckin’ all.

You’re sitting on your roof, probably getting kicked out in a day
And your friend’s all across the Gulf, losing his mind
Can’t find the time to live.
