My friend you were the model
A priceless work of art
Boys would fashion their emotions 
To the pattern of your heart
And I heard you wrote that record 
For a girl you loved but died
I'm here sewing mine together
Just hoping you're alive
And I know you'll never come back now 
To the world where people are
Because you never understood 
What they loved you for

Now ghosts, they have their secrets
And they'll tell them to a few
So you could never pay attention 
When they're whispering to you
There were many talents you possessed 
That I wished myself to have
But the way your eyes would gloss over 
Well, I never envied that
And I doubt you'll ever come back now 
From wherever it is you are
Because you never understood 
What we loved you for

I'm sure the TV sets will tell us 
When someone reinvents the wheel
Until then I'll have a million conversations 
About shit that isn't real
But I've tried to breathe in meaning
Dig deep to every gasp of air 
Because I know you did the same thing 
For as long as you could bear
I guess everything just circles around 
To where it was before
So I hope I see you soon 
In some other form
