lyrics

Verse 1:
Time, it hasn’t been my friend.
It’s been turbocharged since the day he left.
If I haven’t made it far, very far yet,
it’s because part of me died the day he went.

Link 1:
And how long can I keep measuring Brad as a we,
when I only ever see that guy when I’m asleep.
It’s been 8 whole years of just me,
and it’s been 8 long years of sleep.

Hook:
And I try not to cry. Though at night, I can’t lie,
I don’t like, but don’t mind,
even I cry, despite
living life in the light.
I’m a sight for sore eyes.
But in spite of that fight,
brushed aside, I’m alright.

Chorus:
And how can a guy like me continue measuring himself as once we.
And for how long can a guy like Bradley continue measuring himself as a once we.

Verse 2:
Life hasn’t gone as expected;
Sometimes terrifying, and sometimes just meh.
And if I haven’t made it past the front door yet,
it’s because part of me died back in 2010.

Link 2:
And how long can I keep measuring Brad as a we
when I only ever see that fuckin’ guy in my sleep.
It’s been 8 whole years (woe is me)
and it’s been 8 long years in solitary.

Hook:
And I try not to cry. Though at night, I can’t lie,
I don’t like, but don’t mind,
even I cry, despite
living life in the light.
I’m a sight for sore eyes.
But in spite of that fight,
I’m alright. I’ll be fine.

Chorus:
And how can a guy like me continue measuring himself as once we.
And for how long can a guy like Bradley continue measuring himself as a once we.

Bridge:
Damn, I wish I could go back,
‘cause I’m starting to fade to black,
and there’s nothing left here for me to grab.
I can’t even find a hand, or a rubber band,
to fling me out of this monster of a jam,
and it’s starting to fuckin’ drag.
I’m startin’ to lose who I am.

Chorus:
And how can a guy like me continue measuring himself as once we.
And for how long can a guy like Bradley continue measuring himself as a once we.

Who doesn't enjoy an interesting indie artist? Am I good, am I bad? Who knows. Guess we'll all have to wait and see. Yes, "we" 'cause not even I know myself anymore. I think that really comes out in the tunes though. Who knows, perhaps it may be you who can help solve a mystery? Yeah, I like a lot of retro television :D But I'll be there for you, if you're there for me too! Ha ... more
