You gotta make it to work
So we drive into the blizzard
Can’t see anything through the snowfall
We slide sideways toward the drop-off
Ripped from the side of the mountain
Oh Poseidon, I can’t stop crying

Up Conway Summit
Where you lost control
We rolled the wrong way
Couldn’t see down below
Dark shade of blue moonlight
Still breathing in the snow

Laying there shivering
I couldn’t move
Couldn’t even send you a message
To tell you what you mean
I know you worry
I know you worry about me
Everywhere that we’ve been
So many places still to go
Despite these hospital ceilings
And ceaseless gray I can see
The pass we pulled through
So I keep on climbing
Keep on climbing
Bryan, I won’t stop trying

Up Conway Summit
Where when you lost control
We rolled the wrong way
Couldn’t see down below
Dark shade of blue moonlight
Still breathing in the snow

Sheetrock crumbling inside of my chest
A second cup of chamomile
A broken minute of rest
I guess it in runs in the family

Black holes paper the halls in my head
Dear sister stay by my side
Keep trying to fight these fears
But they’ve got too many places to hide

It’s been two entire years
It’s been two entire years

One last dose to clear out the fog
One finger over my eye
If anyone calls
Tell them I’m still lying here waiting to die

It’s been two entire years
I don’t even have any pictures here
You know I try
Dear sister stay by my side

Dear sister stay by my side

It’s been two entire years
But please don’t cry
Dear sister stay by my side
It’s been two entire years
You know I try
Dear sister stay by my side

The accordion your friends hadn’t heard
Until you played for them “Happy Birthday”
The keys all glitter like a memorial
A life you filled with so much joy
It couldn’t be contained

Jesus Christ, I let myself forget
Just how you sounded
When you sang to me at night
You played at my party under fluorescent light
And there was a picture on your guitar

The one you took with you to the hospital
When you could barely walk on your own
Despite all the pain you still picked it up
A prayer of sorts well here’s one more
In case you’re listening

Jesus Christ, I let myself forget
(How you sound)
Just how you sounded
When you sang to me at night
You played at my party
Under fluorescent light
There was a picture on your guitar

Of Jesus Christ

I forget how you sound
But you’ll float ‘round my synapses
When I lay down tonight
You played at my party
Under fluorescent light
There was a picture on your guitar

Handkerchief in his coveralls
He parked you in the garden
By the hydrangea bathing in smog
He was proud
His hair had turned from red to blonde
Your stereo got started
Off Clark Street over the traffic
He cranked it loud
I still feel the sound

A part of me fading from view now
I heard you sing
I watched you break down
I smoked you out
I cried for you
I didn’t have the strength to make it whole
So I let go

Your fabric faded at the folds
Your last window was broken
And we’re fighting again in the front seat
60 through an alley when I asked him to be gentle
You’re full of things that are not worth remembering
But through the pecan trees

I’m gathering speed away from you now
I heard you sing
I watched you break down
I smoked you out
I cried for you
I didn’t have the strength to make it whole
So I let go

So I let go

A part of me fading from view now
I heard you sing
I watched you break down
I smoked you out
I cried for you
I didn’t have the strength to make it whole
So I let go
