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
Znao sam da je dječak jednom kad sam bio mali
A TOWHEAD plavuša s očima soli
Igrao je bubanj u Marching Band
Njegovi roditelji brinuo više o Bibliji
Nego biti dobar u svoje dijete
Nosio je uzrok dugih rukava 'svog oca
I nekako mi je pao u kontaktu
Nadam se da je zauzeo njegovo loše posao i napravio Royal Flush
Ne znam da li ću te opet vidjeti jednog dana
Ali, ako si tamo, nadam se da si dobro
[Verse 2]
Moje srednje škole prijatelj odrastao sam
Podigla je braća sama
Njeni roditelji mrzio koji voli
Jedva je čekala da ode na koledž
Bila je umorna, jer je dovedena u svijetu
Gdje porodica bila samo krv
Ona zna koliko sam ponosan da je stvoren?
Sa hrabrošću da oduče sve njihove mržnje?
Mi ne pričamo puno, ali jednostavno moram reći
Nedostaješ mi, i nadam se da si dobro
[Bridge]
Adresa pisma rupe u mom krila leptira
Ništa nije zauvijek, ništa nije tako dobro kao što izgleda
A kad se oblaci neće izglade
I čudovišta uvući u kuću
Svaka vrata je teško blizu
[Outro]
Pa, nadam se da znate koliko sam ponosan na tebe su stvorene
Sa hrabrošću da oduče sve svoje mržnje
Ali, Bože, nadam se da ste srećniji danas
Jer ja te volim
I nadam se da si dobro
