Carlo's Song

Do you remember drinking in the parking lot

By the trailhead?

I see you for a moment, then the morning comes

And it's wasted

We listen to "Only The Good Die Young"

And we laughed about its statement

We walked in the same direction, but we both got lost

In your angst and my impatience

Did you find what you were looking for?

Some escape from your skin

You know that place you were dreaming of

Where all light comes in

I hope you know I grew my hair out long

And your sister's just fine

I keep burning my bridges down

Just to keep you alive

Woo-oo-oo

Woo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo

Woo

Do you remember looking from the fire tower at the sunset?

Jack White, prophetic on my speakers, "We Were Going To Be Friends"

Yeah, I guess I just got busy, only saw you every other weekend

Lord, I just moved to this city, hoping noise drowns out the regret

But did you find what you were looking for?

Some escape from your skin

You know that place you were dreaming of

Where all light comes in

I hope you know I grew my hair out long

And your sister's just fine

I keep burning my bridges down

Just to keep you alive

Woo-oo-oo

Just to keep you alive

Woo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo

Woo

They tell me grief is just love letting go

They say it like milk has been spilled on the floor

They say they don't know who I am anymore

Well, I just have never shown anger before

Still haven't found what I'm looking for

Some escape from my sin

You know that place you been dreaming of

Where all light comes in

And I'll keep growing my hair out long

Just to cover my eyes

And I'll keep playing that goddamn song

If it keeps you alive

Woo-oo-oo

If it keeps you alive

Woo-oo, oo-oo-oo-oo

Woo

I just wanna keep you alive
