I agree with you, eric, this one hits pretty damn hard. The entire album comes crashing down with this one tune. Every high, every low, every feeling culminates in a crescendo that is both life affirming and heartbreaking at the same time.
Wake me up
Pictures of you smiling in times when I just couldn't be around
Hold me up
Count my rings to see how many winters I've been stuck here underground
Swore I would not burn out
Digging through the memories that made you feel alive when you were young
You were right to doubt
Broken since foundations in the structures you were building came undone.
We had plans. We were going to be something/go somewhere. We wouldn't be like them.
Part of your charm was
the way you would push me
from all of the traps that I just couldn't see.
Figures the one that was there
to have tripped you up
Would be the one
that was set
there by
me.

I turned out to be my own worst enemy.
