Hawk
Algernon Cadwallader
There was already distance wide as the sky
I liked to know you're in it
Why did you have to die?
A broken wing that you couldn't mend
I wish I could've gave you medicine
How much of our lives did we spend side by side?
Playing with pocket knives carving out our space in life
Afternoons spent wrestling couches together to form a ring
We traded up for instruments sold our soul it was common sense
I don't know if the devil remembers but our laughter will echo on forever
A few of your favorite clothes from your high school wardrobe
Are the closest thing to having you back
I don't want your memories they're too constrictive
But the clothes still fit
How much of our lives did we spend kicking out the jams?
I wish you were wrestling with me
I never considered running out of time
I see you now in a different light
One that always shines and helps me sleep at night
Knowing that when we had the chance we did it right
I wish you were wrestling with me
I wish you were wrestling with me
Wrestling with me
