Song for Billy Hurst (Home Demo)

Might as well forget it

Your bird flew north and never landed in line

I put my faith in a cat or a mylar balloon

Don't your clothes feel heavy

Weighed down by secrets that were caught on the way

Heaven doesn't want them

Now we're swimming in your alphabet rain

From the courtesy phone

To the ticket counter where you wait

You were pulled aside by your coat

So you cause a scene and showed your teeth

I left my home and my plans

Got American Express

I never had excuses or the time

I hope you're doing just fine there in your daughter's recital

She wouldn't even know me if I got up and died today

Who's this guy with the cat?

Who's this guy with the cat?

Well can I leave a message with the future you

Skip the flowers and proposals from you-know-who

Try now, now to smile

Try now, now to smile
