lyrics

The air tonight tastes different
The clocks are all on pause
The streets are fittingly empty
And we all know the cause

Nobody kills the silence
Although we wish we could
And now we look for one last time
At the place where you once stood

We prayed for your recovery
We prayed that you'd get well
The lack of the aforementioned
Is putting me through Hell

I can't help but feel selfish
For making this about me
But was there any purpose
Beyond what I can see

I run back memories
Wondering what I could do
To make that day change
To be in your place
I wish you'd have known
Dear Abby, I hope you're listening

There's things I didn't tell you
There's things you didn't know
But I don't think I'd have told you
If you didn't have to go

Seeing your name in my phone
Breaks me every time
I feel we are all holding in
And pretending we're just fine

I run back memories
Wondering what I could do
To make that day change
To be in your place
I wish you'd have known
Dear Abby, I hope you're listening

Run back memories
Wondering what I could do
To make that day change
To be in your place
I wish you'd have known

Dear Abby, I hope you're listening
Dear Abby, I hope you're listening
Dear Abby, I hope you're listening

So if you're out there listening
Please take this one last thought

Zach is a Chubby Chaser
by Out The Backdoor

This was a band I started with my friend Sam Etling (Broke Hearts and Body Parts) back when we were like 13. This was a 3 song EP we wrote and recorded and it's pretty good. The Soccer Moms

Mixtape's Can Melt Steel Beams
by GÜ4RD14N5 0F TH3 N16HT

Possibly the greatest project I ever worked on. We have somewhat of a cult following in our school theatre department for whatever reason but none of them actually listen to it.#LongLiveTheGÜ4RD14N5 The Soccer Moms
