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
Ma teadsin, poiss kord, kui ma olin väike
Towhead blond silmad soola
Ta mängis trumli marsivad bänd
Tema vanemad hoolitsetud lähemalt Piibel
Kui oleks hea oma lapse
Ta kandis pikad varrukad sest tema isa
Ja kuidagi me langes välja touch
Loodan, et ta võttis oma halb asi ja tegi mastirida
Ei tea, kas ma sind jälle näha ühel päeval
Aga kui sa oled seal, ma loodan, et sa oled okei
[Salm 2]
Minu põhikoolis sõbrale kasvas üles üksi
Ta tõstis vennad enda
Tema vanemad vihkasid, kes ta armastas
Ta ei suutnud oodata, et minna kolledžisse
Ta oli väsinud, sest ta toodi maailma
Kui pere oli vaid verd
Kas ta teab, kui uhke ma olen ta loodi?
Mis julgust Unlearn kõik oma viha?
Me ei räägi palju, aga ma lihtsalt pean ütlema,
Ma igatsen sind, ja ma loodan, et sa oled okei
[Bridge]
Aadress tähed augud minu liblikas tiivad
Miski on igavesti, midagi on nii hea, kui tundub
Ja kui pilved ei siluma
Ja koletised libiseda oma maja
Iga uks on raske lähedale
[Epiloogi]
Noh, ma loodan, et sa tead, kui uhke ma olen teile loodi
Mis julgust Unlearn kõik oma viha
Aga Jumal, ma loodan, et sa oled õnnelikum täna
Sest ma armastan sind
Ja ma loodan, et sa oled okei
