16 /04 / 16 (Jack’s Song)

I remember the view out the back of the car
Left the front door wide open
Maybe it's a sign that we shouldn't be going
I didn't realise it'd be so hard
You and me, sitting on the trampoline
I think one time we fell asleep
Woke up and felt like it'd been weeks
And now it truly has been
(Forgive yourself)
It wasn't meant to be but it's funny how
Life dealt this cheat
To someone who could handle it so well

And while you sleep in the pouring rain
Just know I'll be with you someday
And I'll have a good one 'til then
Just like you told me

I wish we could’ve played that game sometime
I wish we’d talked more online
I’m glad you liked my picture
I stuck it up inside my locker
Becoming disconnected
Really puts into perspective
How important every friend is who makes you wanna live
And this time it’s okay to cry

Black sweatpants and pasta with ketchup
When your sister ate the slug it was the grossest thing ever
Collecting beetles in the garden together
You're welcome anytime in my dreams

Muddy hands and climbing trees
Sink-tall while we brush our teeth
Striped shirts and hide and seek
It's all coming back to me
While you sleep on a sunny day
Just know I'll remember you always
And no matter how much it hurts
It's not goodbye, just see you later

And while you sleep in the pouring rain
Just know I'll be with you someday
And I'll have a good one 'til then
Just like you told me
