Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little home town
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Mmmmmmm
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Rounding third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage you shined just like the sun
Oh why that's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done
Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows
What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Yeah yeah yeah
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh why there's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain
Oh but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight
They were wrong
They lied
And now you're gone
And we cried
Cause It's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Your beautiful song
Your absolutely beautiful song
It must a been a place so dark, couldn't feel the light Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud Now here we are gathered in our little home town This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd Oh why that's what I keep askin' Was there anything I could have said or done Oh I had no clue you were masking a troubled soul, god only knows What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song Mmmmmmm Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old Rounding third to score the winning run You always played with passion no matter what the game When you took the stage you shined just like the sun Oh why that's what I keep askin' Was there anything I could have said or done Oh I had no clue you were masking the troubled soul, oh god only knows What went wrong and why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song Yeah yeah yeah Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze The golden sun is shining on my face The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing This old world really ain't that bad a place Oh why there's no comprehending And who am I to try to judge or explain Oh but I do have one burning question Who told you life wasn't worth the fight They were wrong They lied And now you're gone And we cried Cause It's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song Your beautiful song Your absolutely beautiful song Explain Request ×
