Nightingale Lyrics

I'm too scared to text you

I get flashbacks to last June

Where I watched you fade away

But now I'm here in your Protegé

And suddenly it's all okay

Your gray times abiding

With snow comes its silence

I don't blame you for slipping

And I can tell that you're nervous

But that shows you have promise

To do more than anything

But man I know it's so hard

Everything's against you, got dealt some bad cards

So I hope you find a way out

Scratch that I know you will without a doubt

So here's to us and the long lives we might live

Broken but still worth more than nothing

Stuck in the rough, stuck in this sad old town

But just until we make it

Don't cry, ask how instead of why

And don't die, reach for the unknown sky

Like a nightingale

I hope blue takes you over

As you're still getting older

There's still so much left to do

'Cause man you're only 22

A world of possibilities needs you to peak through

So I hope you find a way out

Scratch that I know you will without a doubt

So here's to us and the long lives we might live

Broken but still worth more than nothing

Stuck in the rough, stuck in this sad old town

But just until we make it

Don't quit, think of your precious kid

Keep that flame lit, and blossom because of it

Like a nightingale
