Cities away and I still hear your name on foreign tongues.
Waiting for a call, I can feel it all. I can't get it off my mind,
And I think back to driving at midnight so I could watch you sleep.
And it hurts to know that I'm the last Hoffman man above the grass.
These seasons change and take things away.
But I've just been so drunk and tired that this month has gotten away from me just like you did.
I still remember the way you say my name and draw me close.
I'm losing sight of arms throughout all of this careless noise.
Oh and I broke that watch you gave me, so now I'm always losing time.
And I feel cold even in the summer light.
And it hurts to know that I'm the last Hoffman man above the grass.
These seasons change and take things away.
But I've just been so drunk and tired that this month has gotten away from me just like you did.
But it's getting so very cold
And the funeral left me feeling so old.
And I wonder where you are now.
I just hope I made you proud.
