john gallagher jr. – dead for a year lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
up comes my baby with the sleepy+eyed stare
i’m scared about what she wants to ask
i’ve been dodgy but i’m trying to be fair
if i am honest then maybe she’ll grasp
all these things i could be, you will see
all these things i could be, you will see

[verse 2]
under some trees we’re inside of her car
heisting all our kisses like they’re works of art
in our own apartments ’cause we’re finally adults
but still we don’t act it and i’m coming apart
can i just readjust, get your trust
can i just readjust, get your trust

[verse 3]
in comes the cold, out goes the old
up with the new, down with the mold
bursting like the blisters on my feet on the road
i’m stuck at the border ’cause i don’t have the toll
i concede, i can fold, do as i’m told
i concede, i can fold, do as i’m told

[verse 5]
waking up from nightmares to shivers and shakes
they weren’t even this bad when i was a baby
critters ’round my crib, but the feeling of doom
is not like being at your wedding and not being the groom
oh lord, please, banish these thoughts from me
oh lord, please, banish these thoughts from me

[pre+chorus]
’cause i’m crawling up through the dirt
through the roots, through the wood, through the hurt
that i have bestowed
upon my friends and the girl of my dreams
i’ve been caught and crushed and uncleaned
since i let ’em go

[chorus]
but i’m rising from the grave
rising to be saved
rising so i can slave away
all my debt
dead for a year

[verse 6]
there goes my baby with the painted+on smile
i wish i had one but i’m losing my sight
and i can’t see through all the pain and the p+ss
i can’t get past the that to the this
i never beg but now i am, friend to friend
i never beg but now i am, friend to friend

[verse 7]
and this time it’s me with the sleepy+eyed stare
pouting and doubting that she even cares
her demands are different but i’m even more scared
don’t say i deserve it ’cause i’m plenty aware
i’ve never been such a fool, i deserve to die
i’ve never been such a fool, i deserve to die

[pre+chorus]
but i’m crawling up through the dirt
through the roots, through the wood, through the hurt
that i have bestowed
upon my friends and the girl of my dreams
i’ve been caught and crushed and uncleaned
since i let ’em go

[chorus]
but i’m rising from the grave
rising to be saved
rising so i can slave away
all my debt
dead for a year

[outro]
dead for a year
dead for a year
dead for a year
dead for a year
dead for a year
i was dead for a year
