The great divide


I can't recall the last time that we talked
About anything but lookin' out for cops
We got cigarette burns on the same side of our hands
But we ain't friends, we're just morons
Who broke skin in the same spot

But I've never seen you take a turn that wide
And I'm high enough to still care if I die
So I tried to read the thoughts that you worked overtime to stop
You said fuck off, and I said nothing for a while

You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
And how bad it must have been for you back then
And how hard it was to keep it all inside

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul, and what he might do with it

You inched yourself across the Great Divide
While we drove aimlessly along the Twin State line
I heard nothin' but the bass in every ballad that you'd play
While you swore to God the singer read your mind

But the world is scared of hesitatin' things
Yeah, they only shoot the birds who cannot sing
And I'm finally aware of how shitty and unfair
It was to stare ahead like everything was fine

You know I think about you all the time
And my deep misunderstanding of your life
And how bad it must have been for you back then
And how hard it was to keep it all inside

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul, and what he might do with it

Rage, in small ways
Did you wish that I could know?
You'd fade, to some place
I wasn't brave enough to go

I hope you settle down, I hope you marry rich
I hope you're scared of only ordinary shit
Like murderers and ghosts and cancer on your skin
And not your soul, and what he might do with it

I hope you threw a brick right into that stained glass
I hope you're with someone who isn't scared to ask
I hope that you're not losing sleep about what's next
Or about your soul, and what he might do with it

Thank you because you correct this lyrics
