Little White Chapel

Dying seems like an ancient tale A drunkard told me once For you grew up fast And grew up weak You never land a punch In the coldness of your eyes I see the type of man you are Too afraid to be the same Too afraid to stray too far We drove that night to the town Where the old folks curse the new Never thought we would hold Something borrowed something blue Memories last a lifetime But in my mind this was it I look up to the milky way And dream of what exists Why walk when we can run You never date the youngest son (But if you) heed the word of every man You'll never reach their promised land (But it's) hoping in the corner of your mind You'll see the way I see And shine like you can shine I wish for you the best of life can be Some people try to run away By staying deadly still With you I've earned a different path We can put that in our will Some people spend a lifetime Blowing dreams and cigarettes For you I put the lighter down And cashed in all my bets
