lyrics
When I was a boy, I was seven foot two, and my peers all made fun of me throughout high school. Well, I forgot all them, but I can’t forget you. Although sometimes I think I would like to.
And I try to sleep but you’re stuck in my head, as my legs dangle over the end of my bed. I wish things didn’t change. Oh, I wish you weren’t dead. I wish the Lord would have took me instead because:
Oh, God knows, nothing here changes. Nothing here grows. Except for the cemetery down by the railroad track.
A kid throws a slushy, it runs through my hair. I used to get angry, but now I don’t care. Because God knows we’ve all got our crosses to bear. I hope someday that I can meet you there.
And now, I am grown, about thirty or so. And the woman I love lies beneath winter snow. But, the second it thaws out, I promise I’ll go meet you with flowers and romantic poems because:
Oh, God knows, nothing here changes. Nothing here grows. Except for the cemetery down by the railroad track.
