Back to the Ocean

I look around as I stand in line

I see so many people from years gone by

But no one speaks we just smile and nod

And look at the floor with our hands in our pockets

As I fidget and play with my tie

Don't look them in the eye and you might not cry

So much love is unusual

But why's it gotta be at a funeral

This once for the Aces

They pulled me out of my darkest places

They showed me kindness and showed me love

And I never said thank you the way I should've

And now my little brother passed on

I had a lot to say but I waited too long

So I'll try to reach him with a song

Dear Mitchell, We all miss you

Thank you for the good times

And the laughter through the hard times too

I wanted to protect you since you were a kid

Just like Jonas, Dave and Vigs

But now I know it don't work like that

We gotta be honest with the time we got

I'll close my eyes and think of those who've gone

And sing it loud so they feel this song

Woah Our brothers coming home

Make sure you welcome him back to the ocean where we all belong

To much better things, a side of life we've never known

Woah Our brothers coming home

So make a place for him and wait for him right there with open arms

And tell him that I said thank you
