To Feel Close

from Fade to Black by Sean Newton

/

lyrics

Its two AM in Thunder Bay
1281 miles away
I called you up, you answer your phone and say
I want you, cant you come home

You're so far away and across a sea
Of prairies and lakes and rocks and trees
We'll get to be close this coming Spring
Face time is such a beautiful thing to me

You never would play games with me
Said I take it all too seriously
Yea, I would be Peach, so that you could be Toad
We can race on Rainbow Road

You'd beat me cause I hate that stage
Now that I'm alone, it's all that I'll play
I don't care if its hard, it reminds me of you
I may as well drink Jack Daniels to feel close to you

Now I want for you to be proud of me
But I can't pinpoint what I want to be
So I'm hiding away, awaiting your call
I made it through Summer, can I make it through Fall?

I know its been harder since I've been gone
Sorry for all the stupid things I have done
And I'll think about you and where I come from
All these Polaroid photos of where I belong

So I'll play the games that remind me of you
And wear plaid and snapbacks just like you used to
Yea, I know I look dumb, and I should stay at home
Anything to make me feel less alone

And I should be independent and I should stand tall
But I'm not that grown up yet, it’s a fucking long haul
So I'll be reckless, get drunk, act on every cliché
And I miss you is all I can really say

So don't be sad cause of me
All I want is for you to be happy while I'm gone
