lyrics

It had been about 7 years since I last saw him
Sold me a bag of weed in uptown
On Tuesday at a stoplight, I wanted to cry
Opened Instagram and learned that he had died

Called my sister and asked if she was sitting down
She told me that's what she had called me earlier about
Said he was found in the bathtub in his house
It was before I had even gotten home

I don't know why it felt so profound
I was teary the rest of the day
Remembering the time in my life when I would see him around town
I don't know why some grief comes with guilt
When someone dies you didn't know that well

I racked my brain for things I knew about him
One Fourth of July a bunch of us watched the fireworks
In his apartment across from Surdyk's
One of the times I felt like one of the cool kids

There was the time he was Scarface for Halloween
He would always say what everyone was thinking
Somethin about him reminded me of a puppy dog
In every memory I have he's holding a soccer ball

He was probably at the party where I first tried blow
He was goofy and knowingly the butt of every joke
But I didn't really know him that well

I'm a thousand miles away from where we knew each other
But I had a breakdown over his death still
Yeah I had a breakdown over his death still
