Took You For Granted Lyrics
I could see all the Universe inside you. You had eyes made of candles.
And your body was a medicine bag that all the world could heal from.
I couldn't help but be mystified by you.
Now I'm living all alone with a bag of burned bones,
And I don't even know if you can hear me.
I'm only half a man without you, my friend.
I can't wait, 'cause I really need you to come back.
I took you for granted, but now I understand I always thought you'd be there.
I can't help but say they've taken away the biggest thing I care for.
I live in the black, it's a simple fact, I'm here but I'm not aware.
I took you for granted, but now I understand I always thought you'd be there.
I miss you.
And your body was a medicine bag that all the world could heal from.
I couldn't help but be mystified by you.
Now I'm living all alone with a bag of burned bones,
And I don't even know if you can hear me.
I'm only half a man without you, my friend.
I can't help but say they've taken away the biggest thing I care for.
I live in the black, it's a simple fact, I'm here but I'm not aware.
I took you for granted, but now I understand I always thought you'd be there.

I've been listening to this song for years and I just realized yesterday that it's about how his son died when he was 2.
Really? Thanks for noting that. That gives this song even more of a emotional punch. Damn.
I believe his son was 4. but still yeah this song and Your 8th Birthday just tear my heart. read about them http://www.cloudcult.com/about.htm
