Not in Forever

She grew up on a farm, and dad, a factory Des Moines fell in love with Pittsburgh, Cat's Cradle and UNC Then came baby boy, threw a wrench in things Gave me everything a happy family It's been a while now But I can't let you go Why did it take you Oh, nobody knows Come back to me Come back to us It's been a while now But I can't let you go A sunny Saturday a lump in her throat The doctor gave the news, he said it wasn't nerves It was bad news, it was sad news then they sat me down Frustrated devastated I still need you now It's been a while now But I can't let you go Why did it take you Oh, nobody knows Come back to me Come back to us It's been a while now But I can't let you go School fights and late nights, I'm not who I once was Daddy misses her, he never let it out He and I don't speak, I'm always in my room I listen to the music, and I think of you It's been a while now But I can't let you go Why did it take you Oh, nobody knows Come back to me Come back to us It's been a while now But I can't let you go A sunny Saturday, I fell asleep on your grave So tired of the grief, forever missing you Drumming on my heart, looking to the sky You reach me, you reach me, ask what's on my mind Didn't wanted to take you not in forever But something stepped in no not in forever I was so young no not in forever I didn't understand oh that you are forever
