lyrics

It's a sunny Sunday evening
They cut the power to the house
But there's a fire burning in my head
That I'm trying to put out

I took the pictures down today
and I buried the dog
I held a daisy in my hand
and wrote a letter back home
I need to tell you something
but I can't move anymore

I hear the laughter through the ceiling
Another hole in the wall
A dear friend came to see me
But couldn't stay very long

I put my best shirt on today
I tried every tie I own
I put a smile on my face
Then I laid in our bed
I need to tell you something
But I can't move anymore

There's a party happening somewhere
I was thinking I might go
I could use a little reminder
I'm not always alone

I'll grab a bottle on the way
Something I've never tried before
I'll be happy, I'll hug everyone I know
I'm gonna sing our favourite songs
I need to tell you something
but I can't move anymore
