Lyrics:
I used to spend my time with a little girl
Four feet tall, blue eyes, and golden curls
But, she moved away at the summer's end
I thought I lost my best and only friend

Once I knew a man with a heart of gold
He never got to watch his kids grow old
Within four months he was here and gone
Now he's sleeping in the graveyard lawn

Every so often, me and her catch up
She is still lost and her family is still messed up
Sometimes he visits me in my dreams
Says, "Kiss my girls, and treasure the little things."

I love a woman who's trapped inside her head
Still tries to call her parents when they're both dead
When she looks at him and says, "Who's Ray?"
He tries to remind her of their wedding day

I hate the pills I drink with my coffee
But I've got to swallow what they tell me
Although it's built up in my bloodstream,
Most days are just one big bad dream

Sometimes she has her memories
But, they'll come and go like the falling leaves
I was a songless Jenny Wren
But, I think I'm finding my voice again

And for a year and a half
I've been on an endless path
With therapy and recovery
And searching for lost hope

And I know this one hurts
But these people have taught me
To thrive through the worst
And I know this one hurts
But these people have taught me
To thrive through the worst

I've accepted that some things I cannot change
But I think it's healthy to shift and rearrange
I find comfort in your company
So I hope you don't mind sitting here with me
