One last time going up to the bridge
Get to the middle and give her a ring
Her caring voice it soothes my soul
Ignore the noise of the road
Her numbers there on a street sign
When I call she's in all the time
She never talks about her day
Always asks if I'm okay
She listens and she laughs at my jokes
For good reason she always talks about hope
Starts to cry when she answers the phone
She thought I had gone away
But we only spoke yesterday
oh yeah
She's my lifeline
She's my lifeline
She's my lifeline
She's my lifeline
Says she always wants me around
She’s never first to put the telephone down
I hope she’s not lonely i know how that feels
If I stop calling would it be a big deal
Well if the sun starts to shine
I’ll call her again from my home line
I cant get too far ahead of myself
but I’ll never call anyone else
It ’s clear to me
she can heal misery
i hope she knows
what she’s meant to me

The Long Goodbye
03:46

This feels like a place we can stay
Smiling faces at the back of the room
Seems to have all we should dream of
but our thoughts I know will turn to leaving soon
I only just made it through the door
So why am I standing in the hall
One eye on the long goodbye
The other on tearing up the night
This is
The long goodbye
We can sit and stare at the tv screen
Or we can climb on the roof
And see if we can fly
And finally
Now everyone's here
We can do our best to forget who we are
Try to touch the sky
or just drink away our fears
The smartest day of the rest of my life
Time turns to dust right before my eyes
My cracked hands remember more than my mind
And then I have to face all of history's lies
I don't remember why you love me
I don't remember what I said
I just stare at these fucking walls
As a drone delivers medicine to my bed

The walls get further away
Light in here begins to fade
Feeling my brain inside
Disconnect from my eyes
Exploding streaks of red light
They know everything I've done
There's a storm in my front yard
It's gonna kill us all one by one
One by one
One by one
Until we’re done
Won't talk about what I've seen
Take this stale water from me
When I see our new car crash
I'm scared I won't go back
Had a fist fight with some sharks
I'll admit that it was fun
But when the blue fell from the sky
We were dying one by one
One by one
One by one
Til we were done
That’s how dreams are to me
Since you became my enemy
They match our new reality
Eclipsing all the good I see
In turn and completely
I sit staring out to sea
Recalling countless memories
Then I let you in my head
And the water turns blood red
The buzzards that soar above me
Their bodies blacking out the sun
When I bring to mind our love
They start diving one by one
one by one
one by one
Until we’re done

A tourist drive
Turns into a metal cage
But you make it out
And 3 lives are saved
You get cut from the car
then she is cut from you
to discover a world
you didn’t want her to
And you're watching me
Watch your misery
Through drug stained eyes I see
How cruel life can be
And he's gone
As I lie and watch you break
Much more than he could take
I need to know how you are
It's been 22 years
I must've drank a million beers
I need to know how you are
Your daughter must be grown
Could be living on her own
I need to know how you are
Can't hold her or her picture
A spine they couldn’t fix
I need to know how you are
Oh Erika
The night brings drugs
And your new baby
She needs you now
More than you need to be
She's the only one
That will visit you
now click for the nurse
To show you what to do
Does she ever see her dad
Or he’s the one she never had
I need to know how you are
I guess you finally made it home
You couldn’t do this on your own
I need to know how you are
And just how many days
has it been you feel ok
I need to know how you are
Cause to me your always there
A broken mess in that wheelchair
It just can’t be how you are
Oh Erika

You've been here before
No gold records on that wall
But magic happens here
Sit down and grab yourself a beer
Sugar soap to clean the walls
A new rise not an old fall
You got any mates who play the bass
Need a bigger sound in this place
Bernard
Tell me are you lonely
Bernard
Now you're all alone
We'll write all the tunes
Just stand out front and kroon
Loud quiet loud will rise again
We are the next big thing
We'll need some bigger amps
Your family car can be our van
We'll play all early gigs
In the mornings I've got the kids
Tell me why your old band was so easy to love
