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
Poznal som jedného chlapca raz, keď som bol malý
Towhead blond s očami soli
Hral na bubon v pochodovej kapele
Jeho rodičia starali viac o Biblii
Než byť dobré, aby svoje dieťa
Mal na sebe príčinu dlhými rukávy'jeho táta
A nejako sme vypadli z dotyku
Dúfam, že si vzal zlú dohodu a urobil Royal Flush
Neviem, či budem ťa zase vidím jedného dňa
Ale ak ste tam, dúfam, že si v poriadku
[Verse 2]
Moja stredná škola kamarát vyrastal sám
Zdvihla bratmi sama
Jej rodičia nenávideli, kto miluje
Nemohla sa dočkať, až sa ísť na vysokú školu
Bola unavená, pretože ona bola prinesená do sveta
Kde rodina bola len krv
Vie, ako hrdá som bola vytvorená?
S odvahou odnaučiť všetky svoje nenávisti?
Nemáme moc hovoriť, ale ja jednoducho musím povedať,
Chýbaš mi, a ja dúfam, že si v poriadku
[Most]
Riešiť listy dier v mojich motýlích krídel
Nič nie je navždy, nič nie je tak dobré, ako sa zdá,
A keď sa mraky nie vyžehliť
A netvori vplížit do vášho domu
Každé dvere sú ťažké záveru
[Outro]
No, dúfam, že vieš, ako som hrdý ste vytvorili
S odvahou odnaučiť všetky svoje nenávisti
Ale, Bože, dúfam, že si šťastnejší dnes
Pretože ťa milujem
A dúfam, že si v poriadku
