lyrics

I'm not ready for you to leave
We didn't get enough time to sleep
And I never got the chance
To make you a meal

It began with a fire in the backyard
You had no patience
I was on guard
With the people that you brought into my home

I could tell that they came from good families
So I tended the fire and chose carefully
When to open my mouth

And I could tell that you were proud

My dog woke me up before my dream was finished
My wife made a drink and you were impressed
And I fell in love with her
All over again

We took a walk, you two talked about me
I seem oblivious but I'm actually keen
To the nature of the mountain
Ahead of me

I played a show that night, I was so scared
Too many people, I'm never prepared
Even though I've done it
A thousand times

I called your name from the microphone
The whole crowd looked, you are taller than most
And I noticed that you were
Lookin' down

And I couldn't tell
If you were proud

We got up early to go to your friend's estate
The drive wasn't long enough but it felt like fate
For no
Good reason at all

I'm usually nervous to meet your successful friends
But he reminded me of George Harrison
And I knew
It would be okay

His dog walked us down to the studio
It felt like a treehouse inside a grotto
And we talked about a new kind of currency

And you opened up about why you're afraid
Of being called out by someone on stage
You said once you got pantsed by some strangers
In a public place

I was not surprised to find your friend's name meant
Bridge builder, that must be why we came
I laid down my song
Without expectation

You shed a tear, it was an important one
We had to leave and so did the sun
It was too cold to roll
The windows down

I took you to the airport
Even I was proud

I'm not ready for you to leave
We didn't get enough time to sleep
And I never got the chance
To make you a meal
