caroline

by brendan philip mccusker

verse

four missed calls and one late night

two checked bags on a red eye flight

drifting out to sable skies

cabin pressure starts to rise

pre

and i ask myself how did we 

end up so far from the place where our sun never set

where we both had the courage to lie to each other 

without any words being said

chorus

i don’t know where it all went wrong

i don’t know where i went for so long

i would take it all back if i still had the time

but i missed every signal and sign

caroline

verse 2

breathe in deep and count to three

something’s coming over me 

all your family’s here to see

someone i could never be

pre 2

and i ask myself how did i 

ever believe i was everything that you would need

when i couldn’t be troubled to see all the parts of 

myself that were still incomplete

i’m still tryin to get on my feet
