[00:11.77]All my friends have gone away.
[00:14.39]Sailing vessels leaving the bay.
[00:16.90]For the best four years and the promise of pay.
[00:19.53]But they don’t even know what they’re chasing.
[00:22.20]Greater men have tried and failed.
[00:25.15]And all this time I thought that I’d stay.
[00:28.08]As a ghost who would haunt this mountain.
[00:30.52]And all this time I thought that I’d stay.
[00:33.46]Alive in the ground digging out my coffin.
[00:36.39]
[00:41.74]Time was short on courts and pavement.
[00:44.16]We knew we had to leave.
[00:46.53]But did I make the most of every day.
[00:49.36]And did I give to not receive?
[00:51.98]Are there any better words to express the full extent of my grief?
[00:57.57]It hits home when you’re not home.
[01:04.12]
[01:04.63]There’s no space to grow, and all this time not much to show.
[01:08.96]And all this time I thought that I’d stay.
[01:11.69]As a ghost who would haunt this mountain.
[01:13.43]Maybe I should hold my tongue.
[01:16.62]And do my best to live with the stress that’s mounting.
[01:19.81]I never thought I never thought a bond was something we lacked.
[01:25.10]I gotta find another way to keep myself intact.
[01:29.51]
[01:47.10]I understand we all went away so we could have the stories to share when we’re back.
[01:51.98]Try to pass the same old shit to get a ahead and start your paper stack.
[01:57.97]I never thought I never thought a bond was something we lacked.
[02:03.03]I guess some of us just needed a change to heal the bones we cracked.
[02:08.21]
[02:18.97]It takes four years away from your friends.
[02:24.47]To make you all forget how much time you spent.
