Now Wait For Last Year - Call Me Malcolm

Front row for a starch white show

It’s like a war zone and they just don’t know

What’s wrong and you’re helpless

When I see you, you are skin and bone

Let’s go back cause I liked it better when I met her

Now we can’t even get you home

The blame game gets played next

But what’s the point when this far down the road

With my head down low

I’m just trying to stay high

But the truth is that I don’t

Want to say my goodbye

When my hands stop shaking

And my heart stops breaking

I’ll say (woah) «I'll see you around»

Front row for a solemn exhibition

On a mission

I was wishing I could make you smile

I don’t know if I can do this

But we reminisce, then it’s all worthwhile

Watching birds on a hospice channel

But I see what’s left and you don’t look right

Every day is such a gamble

And I don’t think I can say goodnight

With my head down low

I’m just trying to stay high

But the truth is that I don’t

Want to say my goodbye

When my hands stop shaking

And my heart stops breaking

I’ll say (woah) «I'll see you around»

Four months is what we heard

And there’s not enough painkillers in the world

To numb what it’s become

And I’m undone, with my hate unfurled

Let’s go back cause I liked it better when I met her

Now there’s love in the space that you left

Cause you were like a father

I’m sorry that I’m still just such a mess

With my head down low

I’m just trying to stay high

But the truth is that I don’t

Want to say my goodbye

When my hands stop shaking

And my heart stops breaking

I’ll say (woah) «I'll see you around»
