Lyrics

There’s certain things you’re sure of
like longitude
It would navigate so easy
when we could talk about the news

And it felt just like Joe Carter
back in 1993
floating down and in and over
then no ground beneath my feet

But things just fall away
I feel less important when you pray
Things just fall away
I remember laughter every day

I’m staring at your jewelry
with holy people’s names
I thought my kids would call you uncle
though our parents ain’t the same

And you shunned me like Curt Schilling
with a towel over your face
Disapproving knowing better
holy tension in its place

And things just fall away
I feel less important when you pray
Things just fall away
I remember laughter every day

I don’t think I ever told you
sometimes I feel like Mitch Williams
missing my spot over and over
I can’t remember who I was
I know I could be digging ditches
(I’ll remember you on your way out)
but I could still get Carter out
the sound of Fregosi calling my number
feels a million miles away
(if you sing a prayer for me, sing it loud)
