Lyrics

I see you myself in you

I recognize aspects of myself in you.

Watched you fight the battles thousand men or no one else could do

I observed you facing challenges that many couldn't handle.

Missed you in the winters when you never came home

I felt your absence during the winters when you didn't return home.

Remember days of feeling bitter wished you better off gone

I recall bitter moments and wished you were better off not being present.

It’s all just part of the journey on yellow brick roads, a helluva ghost

Life is a journey with ups and downs (yellow brick roads) and haunting memories (helluva ghost).

I stopped the thought of you and promises and veiled with the jokes

I deliberately avoided thinking about you, replacing it with humor and empty promises.

Forget it all cause when you call i guess it’s better than most

Despite everything, your call still holds significance for me.

The simple talks bout missing dogs could keep me settled and cozy

Simpler conversations, like talking about missing dogs, bring comfort and warmth.


I hate to think it makes you nauseous

I fear that my actions might repulse you.

All the things i do just being honest(sigh)

I'm honest about the things I do, even if they may not be well-received.

Miss the days with James inside the rocket

I miss the times spent with James in a carefree environment (rocket).

All the space when I became a pilot

I reminisce about a time when I felt in control (pilot) in a vast space.

Rainy days in Autumn, never woulda thought it

Unexpectedly pleasant memories during rainy autumn days.

Ya loving came with problems, I’m guessing that you caught it

Love comes with challenges, and it seems you experienced them.

Better come home I see you lurking, looking, longing

I sense your presence, observing and desiring a return.

I’ll see you when you make it, you we’re never good at calling

Anticipation of seeing you again, despite your past failure to keep in touch.


well

Is it too late to ask the preacher man to soul, i mean i never knew where i’d go

Questioning the timing of seeking spiritual guidance from a preacher for the soul, contemplating an unknown destination.

Send my momma home to rest my bones, i mean to rest my ghost, i came way too far on my own

tch’

An expression of frustration or disapproval.

Too late to ask the preacher man to save my soul, i been waiting way too long

When i’m coming home i hope i see you there~

Hopeful anticipation of seeing a loved one upon returning home.
