I Hope They Call Me Henry

lyrics

I'm standing at the edge of the world
the waves enunciate with perfect rhythmic harmony
I’m staring out at nothing, and I know
that if I jump and let go, I’ll be home

on this soapbox, I must stay
for the rest of my days
because if I can’t make you see
then what the fuck am I doing,
where the fuck should I be?
and what you don’t remember
is not a sign of age, it’s the eyes of fate
and when you don’t surrender,
that’s just god saying it’s not meant to be
oh, please

I’ve taken two steps forward
and ten steps back
because the bigger picture is what I lack

this cliff-side sketch that I have drawn
is in black and white
it shows up best when you turn off the lights

on this soapbox, I must stay
for the rest of my days
because if I can’t make you see
then what the fuck am I doing,
where the fuck should I be?

and what you don’t remember
is not a sign of age, it’s the eyes of fate
and when you don’t surrender,
that’s just god saying it’s not meant to be
oh, please

I’ll sing
you sing
they sing
we all sing

and what you don’t remember
is not a sign of age, it’s the eyes of fate
and when you don’t surrender,
that’s god’s hands on your feet,
holding firm to the concrete
do you see?
