And he always wrote
And he always called
And he never lied
'cause he never said anything at all
In a world of dirt
I am raining, I'm eroding
But which one of us?
In a chorus of maybes, I realize...
When I stared this, I was thinking of my Father
Now a holy ghost
Now see one become the other
One become me
I realize...
Nestle, I won't ever let you go
And he always called
And he never lied
'cause he never said anything at all
In a world of dirt
I am raining, I'm eroding
But which one of us?
In a chorus of maybes, I realize...
Now a holy ghost
Now see one become the other
One become me
I realize...
Nestle, I won't ever let you go

jonah said that this song was about his father who died prior to him writing it. its a very strong song, alot of his songs are very strong lyrically, hes one of my fave song writers this is definatley one of my faves along with NEOs number one defender
yeah, I definitely feel that...it's from the perspective of a guy who grew up with an absentee father, worrying that he'll end up quite the same (" When I stared this, I was thinking of my Father Now a holy ghost Now see one become the other One become me") and, in the choruses, sounding the resolve that he's determined not to ("Nestle, I won't ever let you go").
on Far's website it says " "Nestle," as inspired at the time by Jonah's new-found fatherhood"
but it could be wrong.
Lupe Fiasco sampled this...weird.
