Back To the Ocean Songtext
von Wisdom in Chains

I look around as I stand in line
There′s so many people from years gone by
But no one speaks, we just smile and nod
And look at the floor with our hands in our pockets
As I fidget and play with my tie
Don't look him in the eye and you might not cry

So much love is unusual
But why′s it gotta be at a funeral?

This was really aces
It put me out of my darkest places
You showed me kindness, you showed me love
I never said thank you the way I should have


And now my little brother passed on
I had a lot to say but I waited too long
So I try to reach him with a song
Dear Mitchell, we all miss you
Thank you for the good times and the laughter
Through the hard times too
I wanted to protect you since you were a kid
Just like Jonas, David, me
But now I know with no one like that

We gotta be honest with the time we got
I close my eyes and think of those who've gone
And sing it loud so they feel this song

Well, our brother's coming home
Make sure you welcome him back to the outside
Where we all belong
To much better things
A side of life we′ve never known
And let him know we′re coming too
Well, our brother's coming home
So make a place for him and wait for him right there
We all belong

To the man I said thank you
