last conversation - racing sailboats lyrics
2008 in your mom’s old van
you’re arguing again and i’m not sure if
i hated you then
but now i’m certain
now i’m certain
now i’m certain i f-ckin miss it
woah oh oh oh
woah oh
in all these years i still remember
the living room shaking as we’re singing along to that pumpkins song, you didn’t have to tell me but i knew that you wished you had the things that i did
i never knew that we’d be so far
from doing what was natural
and out here on the water
we’d race for miles in the dark
if we could have another chance
maybe we’d learn what it means to have family
well i’m sorry man
the blood in my hands feels like ice and i can’t unthaw
yeah i’m a bit of a coward when it comes to these things
but i had a dream
that the house was ours to share
you’d see us in the neighborhood
f-cking up the things we never could
cause you know its bad
when i don’t even know your age
and after all these years, i know
it must be a lot to swallow
but in these paintings of rope fences and sailboats
i see you and me
i never knew that we’d be so far
from doing what was natural
and out here on the water
we’d race for miles in the dark
if we could have another chance
maybe we’d learn what it means to have family
two outcasts at the table
talking awkwardly behind the gloom
thought we found a chance to bond
but he p-ssed too soon
our aunt’s speech held the room in tears
a shine reflecting off his old navy lapel pin
i wonder if he’d be happy to see the two of us like this
and all his favorite nieces and nephews
talking awkwardly the conversation dies
man i’m still here
just sticking out the cold
