I knew a boy once when I was small
A towhead blond with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
I knew a boy once when I was small
A towhead blond with eyes of salt
He played the drum in the marching band
His parents cared more about the Bible
Than being good to their own child
He wore long sleeves 'cause of his dad
And somehow we fell out of touch
Hope he took his bad deal and made a royal flush
Don't know if I'll see you again someday
But if you're out there, I hope that you're okay
[Verse 2]
My middle school friend grew up alone
She raised her brothers on her own
Her parents hated who she loved
She couldn't wait to go to college
She was tired, 'cause she was brought into a world
Where family was merely blood
Does she know how proud I am she was created?
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred?
We don't talk much, but I just gotta say
I miss you, and I hope that you're okay
[Bridge]
Address the letters to the holes in my butterfly wings
Nothing's forever, nothing's as good as it seems
And when the clouds won't iron out
And the monsters creep into your house
Every door is hard to close
[Outro]
Well, I hope you know how proud I am you were created
With the courage to unlearn all of their hatred
But, God, I hope that you're happier today
Cause I love you
And I hope that you're okay
Es zināju, ka zēns reizi, kad es biju mazs
Towhead gaišmatis ar acīm sāls
Viņš spēlēja bungas, kas soļo joslā
Viņa vecāki rūpējas vairāk par Bībeli
Nekā ir labi, lai savu bērnu
Viņš valkāja garām piedurknēm "cēloni savu tēvu
Un kaut kā mēs izkrita no touch
Ceru, ka viņš paņēma slikts darījums, un sniedza royal flush
Nezinu, vai es jūs atkal redzēšu kādreiz
Bet, ja tu esi tur, es ceru, ka jūs esat labi
[Verse 2]
Mans vidusskola draugs pieauga vien augšu
Viņa pacēla brāļiem uz viņas
Viņas vecāki ienīda to, kas viņa mīlēja
Viņa nevar gaidīt, lai dotos uz koledžu
Viņa bija nogurusi, "jo viņa bija ievestas pasaulē
Ja ģimene bija tikai asinis
Vai viņa zina, cik lepns es esmu viņai tika izveidots?
Ar drosmi aizmirst visu savu naidu?
Mēs nerunājam daudz, bet es tikai gotta teikt
I miss you, un es ceru, ka jūs esat labi
[Bridge]
Adrese burtus atverēs manos tauriņu spārniem
Nekas ir uz visiem laikiem, nekas ir tik labi, kā tas, šķiet,
Un, kad mākoņi nebūs izgludināt
Un monstriem rāpot savā mājā
Katrs durvis ir grūti noslēgumam
[Outro]
Nu, es ceru, ka jūs zināt, cik lepns es esmu jums tika radītas
Ar drosmi aizmirst visu savu naidu
Bet Dievs, es ceru, ka jūs esat laimīgāki šodien
Jo es tevi mīlu
Un es ceru, ka jūs esat labi
