What I Would Say

Living off of Sunset Boulevard
I’d see the lights I’d hear your car
I’d drive through parking lots and bars
I’d watch the phone I’d watch the door
I prayed your name out to the shore
My head and heart always at war
I carry sunglasses on rainy days
A place to hide behind just in case
I know just how to cry
Won’t even have to try
I’ve practiced what to say when they say
Are you doing okay?
Maybe I’d find some grace
Say he’s in a better place
I hope I never have to find out
What I would say
What I would say
Your hello’s sound like goodbye
But you wer always meant to fly
I just hoped it would be in my sky
Still a boy out on th beach
Always just out of reach
The things you love you have to release
I’ve got the dress and I’ve got the shoes
Know who I’d call if I got the news
I know just how to cry
Won’t even have to try
I’ve practiced what to say when they say
Are you doing okay?
Maybe I’d find some grace
Say he’s in a better place
I hope I never have to find out
What I would say
What I would say
I carry sunglasses on rainy days
A place to hide behind just in case
I know just how to cry
Won’t even have to try
I’ve practiced what to say when they say
Are you doing okay?
Maybe I’d find some grace
Say he’s in a better place
I hope I never have to find out
What I would say
What I would say
