The Man That Gravity Forgot.
I still think about you a lot
But in the most selfish way
Wishing I could float my way to heaven
And find the words to say
Are you scared
Are you alone?
Are you happy
Is it home?
I'm scared to move on
I'm alone inside my head
I'm happy when I think of you
Your home is here instead
I wish I could trade you places
But I know that's wished a lot
At the very least can I be
The man that gravity forgot?
So maybe I can float my way to heaven
If I find the words to say
That I'm miserable here without you
And I'll never be okay
December is hard for me
Anyone around can see
I fill my heart with regret
While everyone else sleeps
I'm sure I could have saved you
If I were there for you that night
Instead you drank the bottle empty
And turned your wheel to the right
I wish I could trade you places
But I know that's wished a lot
At the very least can I be
The man that gravity forgot?
So maybe I can float my way to heaven
If I find the words to say
That I'm miserable here without you
And I'll never be okay
