Hey Jerry, it's all temporary, I know what you carry and I still believe in you
Hey Jerry, I almost called you baby, every day since January I ask God about you
And that night you saw my hands trying to hold you, trying to stay
But time had bigger plans, you stood and ran
Like I would suffocate you, like I'd hurt you
But I just loved you, that's all it ever was
So now you're out in the world, chasing the moon
Hope you find God in all that you do
I wish you kindness and the time for sunsets
And if you decide you don't like that life
You feel out of place, no one understands
Come find me, baby, you'll always have a place by my side
It's funny, I thought you used to like me
The letters and the honeys
But I was always second best
And now we're strangers
Jerry, is it better now that I'm not your forever?
Do you have somebody else?
In my mind, you call again, fix your mistake, you vow this time you'll try to carefully take care of me
But I'm still in my twenties, thinking maybe
We were always meant to say goodbye
So now you're out in the world, chasing the moon
Hope you find God in all that you do
I wish you kindness and the time for sunsets
And if you decide you don't like that life
You feel out of place, no one understands
Come find me, baby, you'll always have a place by my side
So cut your hair, paint it gold, do whatever feels like home
Go anywhere that takes you home, back to me
Lose those friends, cut the rope
And maybe when you have it all, you'll look for me
Oh my Jerry, I will still be praying
That every January, the smile reaches your eyes
And you're doing alright
