LYRICS
there was already distance wide as the sky but i liked to know you were in it why did you have to die? a broken wing that you couldn't mend i wish i could've gave you medicine how much of our lives did we spend side by side? playing with pocket knives carving out our space in life afternoons spent wrestling couches together to form a ring we traded up for instruments sold our soul it was common sense i don't know if the devil remembers but our laughter will echo on forever a few of your favorite clothes from your high school wardrobe are the closest thing to having you back i don't want your memories they're too constrictive but the clothes still fit how much of our lives did we spend kicking out the jams? i wish you were wrestling with me i never considered running out of time i see you now in a different light one that always shines and helps me sleep at night knowing that when we had the chance we did it right i wish you were wrestling with me
