Great Parade

as she lies in the bed with the sound of her own breathing

a little voice in her head keeps on repeating

prepare my dear because things are about to change

there is a tiny tap in the center of her window

her best friend james says

"molly why don't we go as far away from this town as we can"

he continues, "my dad is a damn no good liar,

he told me my mom went to live up in the sky

but when i look up all i see are stars from moving cars

i pushed my insides outside living here for far too long

you are my best part, my fresh start,

i'm hoping that you would come along, so come along.

honey don't be scared i know just where she's hiding

the answer's in this book that i've been reading

the same on she would read to me each night

it's about a place at the bottom of the ocean

she would always sigh "how i wish i could go there"

so let's hold our breath and sink into her arms

because she didn't want to break him with the bad news,

she kissed him on his cheek and continued

go be with her, i have to stay right here,

but you'll be missed, my dear.

here comes your son,

here comes your son,

he isn't alright.

here comes your son,

here comes your son,

he isn't alright.

i pushed my insides outside living here for far too long

you are my best part, my fresh start

i'm hoping that you would come along,

so come along

and we'll fill our pockets up and sink down with the everything we've felt and seen

we'll explore the mysteries of life and why it hurts to love

and in a way the comfort that we're striving for

in the end will be ignored

i still think it's worth the risk even though

that love and loss and tears and joy are just a different type of war

it's true everyone must leave

but i think it's who you hold inside your heart

that keeps you warm while they've gone away
