Lyrics:
[Verse 1] I’m supposed to be stoic As I wipe the tears off of my face Watch the ships off the coast of Mexico Block it out as they float away I still see you smiling Even as I’m selfish as I’ve ever been See you sitting in your chair See you singing happy birthday [Verse 2] I got the call in June But couldn’t bring myself to see you Or even get you on the phone I wanted you to remember me in perfection But really I'm, I’m just a fucking coward I couldn’t stand to see you die And I was dealing with my own shit If I’m being honest, mom said you’d understand But I don’t blame you if you didn’t [Chorus] And I’m on the docks again Looking out at that awful ocean Watching the tide take you away I know you ain’t resting your bones I know you ain’t made it back home At least the loneliness gave you a break [Verse 3] We never held a funeral 'Cause of the consequence they bring Letting go is never easy Even when you’re empty and alone I hope they played you Otis Redding I hope you heard me hum along As those arms of yours went down into the dark [Chorus] And I’m on the docks again Looking out at that awful ocean Watching the tide take you away I know you ain’t resting your bones I know you ain’t made it back home At least the loneliness gave you a break [Bridge] And my phone rang a year later With your smile haunting me And I finally broke at a rental home In Joshua Tree I tell myself it gets better But it never gets any easier when your voice It ain’t on the other side [Verse 4] I hope they played you Otis Redding I hope you remembered I named my guitar After your favorite singer of your favorite song And I break down every time I see That old Spanish nylon that you bought It never comes off the shelf anymore [Chorus] I’m on the docks again Looking out at that awful ocean Watching the tide take you away I know you ain’t resting your bones I know you ain’t made it back home At least the loneliness At least the loneliness gave you a break
