How Is It There?

I called you out.
said where ya been?
Cuz I have been here,
growin up in my head.

I've been alone,
and in this small town,
I've killed myself
one too many times.

So I met you on a Thursday,
I said I am angry,
I said I am scared.
I asked you to care.

I called you out,
said where ya been?
you said you didnt know what I meant.

You said I'm a man now,
I am no longer a boy.
No wagging finger,
No woman's ploy,
is gonna claim me,
is gonna kill me,
is gonna shake me,
and who I am now.

And I called your name,
said are you there?
Cuz I am grateful
for the time that we shared.

I wrote you a letter.
Said how is it there?
is the weather sunshine,
are all predictions fair?

Cuz here it rains,
now and again.
But I got my strength back,
and I've got some friends.

and for that I thank you.
and for that I'm grateful.
grateful for you.
