Nightingale

I'm too scared to text you I get flashbacks to last June Where I watched you fade away But now I'm here in your Protegé And suddenly it's all okay Your gray times abiding With snow comes its silence I don't blame you for slipping And I can tell that you're nervous But that shows you have promise To do more than anything But man I know it's so hard Everything's against you, got dealt some bad cards So I hope you find a way out Scratch that I know you will without a doubt So here's to us and the long lives we might live Broken but still worth more than nothing Stuck in the rough, stuck in this sad old town But just until we make it Don't cry, ask how instead of why And don't die, reach for the unknown sky Like a nightingale I hope blue takes you over As you're still getting older There's still so much left to do 'Cause man you're only 22 A world of possibilities needs you to peak through So I hope you find a way out Scratch that I know you will without a doubt So here's to us and the long lives we might live Broken but still worth more than nothing Stuck in the rough, stuck in this sad old town But just until we make it Don't quit, think of your precious kid Keep that flame lit, and blossom because of it Like a nightingale
