Across the street, above the green, in the flat with the colourful curtains,
Alicia's wrapped in her blankets, headlent back on the wall,
she's gripping her knees, looking for purpose, shaking and nervous.
She keeps a brave face on all day long, but now the brave face is gone.
Something in the changing seasons, prickled in her skin all day,
sucked her back through time and left her feeling far away.
He was in her dream, she hasn't dreamt of him for months,
she's so [N] tired when she sleeps she doesn't really dream at all,
but there he was, holding his belly, blood on his shirt,
she [C#m] heard him scream her name and then she saw him fall.
Alicia wipes her face and whispers to herself,
it was just a dream.
She sniffs and nods and dries her eyes,
she checks the time, it's 4.18.
It's a [F#] strange thing, your face seems to fade with the changing seasons,
then for some reason it comes back more present than ever.
Not your face really, more a sense of you.
Even though I know it's happened, it's no more comprehensible than
if it was an abstract thing, someone else's friend are you?
Asking me for something, is there something [D#] I should do?
It's hard on your mother, she lost your little brother too,
but your sister's doing good man, she's smart, smart like you,
and she'll finish her degree next year, try and find a job I suppose,
she's got her head screwed on right, you don't have to [F#] worry.
Is there something else though?
I mean [C#] if there is I'm sorry,
because I can't really [C#m] think what you might want from me.
I heard your voice a lot, it won't hurt, I don't even remember.
[E] Work's fine, life's good, tyre's nearly 4 now,
[F#] smart enough to walk round and hear what I don't say,
the night it [C#m] happened is vivid in my brain, it won't fade.
Life is long still, some things don't change,
nice to fall in love again but that ain't gonna happen soon,
I'm trying to get some money saved, fix up the living room,
nearly got in trouble, I got anger with my manager,
there's this young girl who works with us, he tried to put his hands on her,
it's such a waste, so many idiots alive and kicking,
why'd it have to be the only sane man in [C#] town,
well I'm probably only saying that because you're not around,
but I'm keeping my chin up though, I don't let it get me down.
I heard your voice a [C#m] lot, it won't hurt, I don't even remember.
You're with me all the time, I think I know you better than I did
when we were hanging out together, what's it like where you've gone?
Well I can feel it, it's okay I know you can't say,
but you've been with me all day, I have to tell you [F#] when it happened,
I couldn't cry for ages, but when it hit me I fucking screamed
like a lion [C#m] in a cage and look I fasted, I didn't eat a thing for like a week
and I just walked across the heath in the rain,
spitting bars to the grass and listening to the cars skidding past,
I thought life would get more real or something more fast,
but it didn't, when I look at your son though, life's hidden meaning,
[E] come to the front of my rousing and it's weird,
the way I [C#m] see it right now it's so strong,
[F#] I'd never be the person I'd become if you wouldn't have a gun.
[C#m] Everything's connected right, everything's connected
and even [D#m] if I can't read it right, everything's a message, we die,
[C#m] so that others can be born, we age, so that others can be young,
the point of life is live, love if you can, then pass it on, right, we [F#m] die,
so that others can be born, [F#] we age, so that others [C#m] can be young,
the point of life is live, love if you can, then pass it on.
