lyrics

We were eleven and twelve years old.
Jonny was tall but I was still small.
We reigned as lords of the beach,
Ice cream and adventure were well within reach.
We’d yet to learn what desperation was.
We tackled the tides secure in our family’s love.

If we were fifteen and sixteen again,
I’d apologize I did not try
To grasp your parent’s breach.
It seemed that quite quickly you’d lost your speech.
We saw first hand what a panicked man would try
After being sure then suddenly denied.

It happened right here in this god damned house,
A mutiny of love from a tired spouse.
A table full of eyes casts a constant strain
On the very kind of love that will never be whole again.

We try, we try to push aside the fears that bruise and paralyze
The thoughts of dread that won’t disappear
Are spilling out my goddamned ears
Why and for what

Remember six and seven again?
Swore on our lives we’d be best friends,
No matter family ties.
Me and my Jonny, the bravest guys.
We never knew the meaning of despair
What matters more is that we’re both still here.

I’m sorry Jonny, you’ll be strong
Where many men have come and gone.
A half a country’s distance long,
My heart to yours we’ll conquer on.
