Franz

Listening to Franz Wright
Thinking out loud at the end of his life on learning how to die
How will he know how to say goodbye
When he’s living around people who haven’t
And like a lot
It reminded me of you
How I’m living around people who haven’t
Felt like I did when I found you
Say you got me a surprise
It’s waiting out in the car
I follow you outside and in dying light
You show me words that changed your life
Now I’m living around people who haven’t
And everything is reminding me of you
Now I’m living around people who haven’t
Felt like I did when I found you
And there’s nothing that can help this kind of hurting
And there’s nothing I saw coming that didn’t happen
And there’s nothing I want now that I don’t have it
But someone some time is gonna hear me
Hear me say
“Looks like we made it” when we’re old and faded
Love long
’cause just like Can’t Hardly Wait did
I became something you play wrong
God, you hardly waited
Now it’s old and faded
Love wrong
but I meant it when I said it
I wanna love long
