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 dječaka jednom kad sam bio mali
Towhead plava s očima soli
Svirao je bubanj u limene glazbe
Njegovi roditelji brinuli više o Bibliji
Nego da bude dobro vlastitog djeteta
Nosio je uzrok dugih rukava”od svog oca
I nekako mi je pao izvan dodira
Nadam se da je uzeo svoj loš posao i napravio royal flush
Ne znam da li ću te opet vidjeti jednog dana
Ali, ako ste vani, nadam se da si dobro
[Redak 2]
Moja srednja škola prijatelj odrastao sam
Ona je podigla braća sama
Njeni roditelji mrzili koji voli
Nije mogla čekati da ide na koledž
Bila je umorna, jer je ona donijela na svijet
Gdje je obitelj bila samo krv
Zna li ona koliko je ponosna sam što je stvorio?
Uz hrabrost unlearn sve njihove mržnje?
Mi ne govorimo mnogo, ali ja samo moram reći
Nedostaješ mi, i nadam se da si dobro
[Most]
Adresa slova do rupe u mojim leptirovih krila
Ništa nije vječno, ništa je kao dobar kao što se čini
A kad se oblaci neće izgladiti
I čudovišta uvlače u svoju kuću
Svaka vrata je teško zatvoriti
[Završnu]
Pa, nadam se da znate kako je ponosan sam što su stvoreni
Uz hrabrost unlearn sve svoje mržnje
Ali, Bože, nadam se da si danas sretniji
Zato što te volim
I nadam se da si dobro
