tyson motsenbocker - honest lyrics
said i’d walk to san francisco
after everything was done
thought the noise and moving busy
kept my mind from really knowing what was gone
and when i finally saw it closing
all those miles across the bay
i was only standing closer to
the man i hoped to lose along the way
but if i’m being honest
but if i’m being honest
i would tell them
it’s a children’s book
it’s a hospital gown
it’s an aspen tree in the summer breeze
she saw, as waving hands
it’s a watching chair
and a holy company
like a sailing ship
hard wrought in it
that will never again float upon the sea
i found that there’s a humor
in an old and fond goodbye
as if the early p-ssing was a door
that she could look through with a smile
so if i’m being honest
if i’m being honest
i would tell her
it’s a pair of jeans
it’s a rude awakening
it’s a fine life lived in the privilege of standing there in the afterlight
it’s a photograph
folded in my wallet
to remind myself that what she left
is only growing bigger over time
