The last time was bad This time is not much better than last Buddy, I'm tired Every light is dim This too will pass Is it on your shoulder Is it even there? It's the weight I imagine Since the last time I saw you Do you wonder Do you care? I know this moment I'll miss It doesn't get much better than this But the white horse will take me away From the pain I can't kill today I've been down some back roads You can relate You can relax I can't think straight I've been down and bad though This one's with hate This one's collapsed This one I'll take I'm in the margins I'm under ice It's the worst of decisions Mixed with headache and trauma Melodrama and me For a second I'll wait To reflect on the past And what a self-centered mess I've made But the white horse will take me away From the pain I can't kill today 'Cause after all has been said and done I am still my father's only son
