Hello Tonight Yeah There was a story of an old man, watching hard when he hit the gym Looked around, found himself in the younger crowd Acknowledged that it has come. The new world begins The old one he knew slipped away Lost touch like an old friend Not due to the trouble, or feathers ruffled Due to the fact life moved quick He forgot to find him He forgot to connect with kin And how many years it has been His old skills fade in relevance and his prized guitar falls out of tune Makes up for the lost ground with a small act of benevolence But he swears the world's the same When he looks up sees the moon Life spins 'round and 'round Always told it would be better soon That holiday meal so quiet Relatives moved onto the next world, or rather be somewhere else Grandkids ask for the Christmas cards sprinkled in with cash In return he'll get a thank you call, ask about his cat Not about what he made of the world Or the stories that he stashed He has all the skills to escape the world But his sight has blurred by his pilot Studying to renew his license Clenching to independence Signs change, the brush swallows the landmarks In turn wiping his imprint Of his signed name in the wood carved He wrote while playing the cowboys and indians In the summers that shined brightest Where the prick of grass rubbed up against his clothes In such a way that he smiled wondered if his mom would get mad He looks down today at his knee The blade of grass is bionic with pins keeping it intact Heartbeat is irregular but he refuses to get fat The world he learned hasn't quite given back But to receive he must give To receive he must give So much grieving It can't be expressed by a tattoo on his rib He hopes the best parts of him are passed down to his kids There's so much to say There's so much to say There's so much to say before his soul rests in his bed Before the world labels him a burden What's one more sip of bourbon When the shows, the curtains Can't tell family from nurses Approaching what's certain A new world is certain The world we once knew Indistinguishable from view Even his work to bring his life peace This whole life has turned into yield signs in these streets They don't see him for what he was They see what he's become to be I thought I wanted a lie I just wanted a new life I think I think too much Was living but not enough Fake happy for the cameras Fake hype and flake on every occasion, I'm your dandruff I think it's a little too evident I just wanted some relevance Peace and love is all I ever meant Mr. Sorry wasn't big enough Mr. This is all it's ever been and all you'll ever get With grace, Mr. Benevolent I found love And I stopped loving Found God And I stopped looking for one Drink water, move smarter Find love in love like you want it Call your parents, call your family What's the point of life and loving if you ain't going to share it The farm turns into a subdivision The subdivision to a suburb Kids don't know where their friends live because the architecture is cookie cutter Architecture cookie cutter Architecture cookie cutter I have to keep going I have myself difficulty so I can earn peace I have to give myself difficulty so I can earn peace He earned peace He earned peace But what has he done to earn peace A beautiful start, from world to heart The beginning and end of a journey
