[00:15.32]Called you at ten, just to check in
[00:20.89]And wish you, my love, happy birthday
[00:26.38]And I know that it's late
[00:29.29]And you're out with your friends
[00:32.47]Does 23 feel any different?
[00:37.87]Then I hear you get quiet
[00:40.78]Then I hear you lean in
[00:43.97]You look like your dad
[00:46.04]But you sound like a kid
[00:49.43]And you said you were tired
[00:52.16]Still you throw me a quip
[00:55.36]Say "the candles still beat the alternative"
[01:03.82]We are getting so old
[01:09.55]Caught my eyes in the action
[01:12.76]Of sinking into their sockets again
[01:17.71]x2
[01:27.26]Called you at ten, just to check in
[01:32.22]I said I'd be late so go on to bed
[01:38.41]And our hair had gone grey and our memories thin
[01:44.14]So I wasn't surprised to find you like this
[01:49.75]So I straightened you out
[01:52.84]And I drew the curtains
[01:55.92]And kissed you goodbye in the ambulance
[02:01.47]In the glow of the night
[02:04.29]I leaned down to your head
[02:07.65]To ask does it feel any different?
[02:16.32]Goodbye to the birds and the bees and the trees and your truck
[03:07.17]And the way that you'd lift with your knees
[03:11.67]And goodbye to your rockets the king of the sky
[03:17.31]How we lit 'em off quick just to watch the things fly
[03:23.07]And goodbye to the times that we sat on your porch
[03:28.80]Smoking weed in the spring, the sun and her scorch
[03:34.65]And goodbye to your eyes and the way that ours met
[03:40.26]Now they're probably glued to the back of your head
[03:46.20]And goodbye
