memorial - devendra banhart lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
i wish you had been at your memorial
seeing someone proposing on stage
i couldn’t get through my song for you
when it came to saying your name
i can still see the room at the hospital
pretty, painted tile
i can still see your skin turning purple
[?]

[chorus]
can you hear me?
did you mean it?
did you plan it out?
or was it an accident?

[verse 2]
time, time, up and down the blue screen
it’s dawn and i’m insane
love’s just a word and not what the word means
but i’ll say it just the same
talking to an ent-ty
made of endless night
i dream in tv dialogue
a world of shadow and light

[chorus]
i know it don’t work that way
but maybe you’ll come back some day
i know it don’t work like that
but maybe you could take it back

[verse 3]
now that there’s no need to say a word
can i still make amends?
but silence, the only kindness i heard
forgiveness, the only revenge
needing all of the people
i’ve heard of from your past
reading through all of your letters
looking for your love

[chorus]
you told that me love
is when someone asks you
“please leave me alone”
and you really do
you looked into my eyes
’til i was your mother’s son
i tried to look away
but saw you in everyone

[outro]
i wish you had been at your memorial
seeing someone proposing on stage
