Southpaw

Lyrics for Southpaw

Hey, I just got off the phone with you Just to see how you've been 'Cause I've been meaning to call you more I set reminders of when I had a dream that you had died And I returned from the war My favorite place had come undone Your leave undoing the core A year ago I wrote a song about myself addressed to you Then August came and showed its insignificance Every step I take, every choice I make Reflects a piece of your design For better or for worse, I will always hold a part of you I started saving all the notes you left for me when I slept in And I've been taking more pictures of you before the flicker and dim I saw Theresa leave her head 2000 miles away I'll never know her as she was When she remembered our names If this is what it takes for you to understand Just name the price, I'm there If I could write a song to tell you what you mean to me The rope is thinning faster every year But you're still here, so while it lasts I will always call to tell you when I'm coming home
