about

This song is about Matt Cooney. One of my brother's best friends. He passed away about a year ago and I wrote this shortly after. I'm afraid of dying. And I'm sad for my brother. It hurt when Matt passed away and it hurt even more when I saw how it affected my brother.
Sorry Dayne.

I was listening to a lot of Bright Eyes when I wrote this song. Listen to "Land Locked Blues" and you'll hear some similarities. Dayne doesn't like Bright Eyes (but he should).

lyrics

I'm sorry you lost your friend
I feel I'm losing something myself
Sometimes I think about him

I bought you a record
That I'd heard before
You could use it more than me right now

I hope that it helps
It gets me through at times
But on darker occasions
It can be hard to find the light

A drink and a cigarette
Might help for a moment but it won't bring back a friend
It won't bring back a friend

I don't understand it and it hurts some days
But we're given this "gift" they call life
I don't understand it and it never seems fair
But we're given this "gift" they call life

Some days I'm happy
Some nights I'm scared
But those are the nights that I write

Some days I'm happy
Most nights I'm scared
But those are the nights that I write
