clearview Songtext
Flew to the edge of the state
Missouri kids chainsmoking cigarettes
I can′t remember their names
They felt like the best friends i'd ever get
And you were like an artery
The only thing linking me to them
Truly i didn′t belong
But i saw for a while
The life that left you behind
The world can just transform
A service, a concert, a record store
And i'm a blind spectator
The world that you knew
Strewn on the floor
So what should i say
That you're finally at peace now?
With your dead body
Wrapped in my t-shirt?
I wish i had talked to you more
The only night that we ever met
I didn′t consider before
It might be the last chance i′d ever get
You were like a light at dawn
The only thing pushing me along
I don't know how you knew my songs
But i was so far from home
My heart barely hanging on
Perspective can change things
A stranger, an idol, an effigy
In lyrics, in concepts, in memory
There′s something thats way bigger than me
Now with every word
That can barely leave my throat
And every chord i strum
You'll always be there
Death is a clear view
This will be forever now
You said that i′d helped you
But i'm the one who let you down
Missouri kids chainsmoking cigarettes
I can′t remember their names
They felt like the best friends i'd ever get
And you were like an artery
The only thing linking me to them
Truly i didn′t belong
But i saw for a while
The life that left you behind
The world can just transform
A service, a concert, a record store
And i'm a blind spectator
The world that you knew
Strewn on the floor
So what should i say
That you're finally at peace now?
With your dead body
Wrapped in my t-shirt?
I wish i had talked to you more
The only night that we ever met
I didn′t consider before
It might be the last chance i′d ever get
You were like a light at dawn
The only thing pushing me along
I don't know how you knew my songs
But i was so far from home
My heart barely hanging on
Perspective can change things
A stranger, an idol, an effigy
In lyrics, in concepts, in memory
There′s something thats way bigger than me
Now with every word
That can barely leave my throat
And every chord i strum
You'll always be there
Death is a clear view
This will be forever now
You said that i′d helped you
But i'm the one who let you down
