Intro:
Yeah...This song was written...for my cousin George...who past away recently...has gone to a better place...And I just feel like...I got somethin' to say...Talk to 'em...just one more time...
Verse 1:
George; I miss you, I don't know what else to say.
But I find myself thinking about you each and every day.
And I want to see you so bad just one more time,
cause lately it's been hard to face what's on my mind.
And I'm tryin' to keep together, like everything is fine.
But I can't pretend that I don't feel like dying inside.
I can't hide. And I can't stop myself from wondering why:
of all the people, why'd it have to be my brother who died?
Why? (damn why?) Man I wish this were a lie.
It's unbearable listening to your mother when she cries.
And your brother in his eyes, I can see how much he misses you.
Everyone loved you, oh believe it Georgie, this is true.
Father and your sister too, having trouble living through
the pain, so they're prayin' and all can't wait to visit you.
But there's something that they have to know:
though you're gone, you're still here living, in your Afterglow.
Chorus:
The days are seeming so long.
And I still can't believe that you're gone.
And you know that I miss you, I'm fallin' apart.
But you're still here,
and your always in my heart
Verse 2:
I wonder what it'd be like, if you were still here,
if I could still pop in and see you and Danny if I was near.
And I wonder what you'd tell me if we spoke right now.
But I don't worry cause I know you'll show me those answers some how.
'Cause I still got so much to learn from you, so much I want to see.
Maybe I could understand you like you understood me.
Like when you'd tell me not to give up and to follow my dreams.
You made me feel like I could do anything as hard as it seems.
Now a part of me bleeds cause I lost my biggest fan.
And I got no one to talk to like just the two of us can.
Man I wish I took that trip to California like we'd planned.
You'd go racin' while me and Jason had my CD's in hand.
But I don't regret the past, see you taught me that too.
Matter fact, half of the things I do I got them from you.
And it's true, we'll keep your spirit everlasting bro
'cause there's a piece of u in all of us, and that's your Afterglow.
Chorus:
The days are seeming so long.
And I still can't believe that you're gone.
And you know that I miss you, I'm fallin' apart.
But you're still here,
and your always in my
Bridge:
Heart... You're always in my heart.
Ooo and I'll remember, I'll always love you.
You'll always be my strength...
You're a part of me...
And when I'm doubtful, you bring back the hope in my life.
When I'm in darkness, your the one who shows me the light.
And when I fall, your the one to get me back on my feet.
And through it all, you'll be there to keep me happy and free.
And when I start to feel like I just might be losin' my mind,
you help me remember that Heaven ain't hard to find.
And when I miss you... which is always... and I'm fallin' apart...
I won't forget you... cause you'll always be inside of my heart...
Verse 3:
Yeah I miss you George; I guess I got a lot to say.
And talkin' through this song is me speakin' the honest way.
Cause sometimes it's hard to take, just what you meant to us all.
That's when we close our eyes and pray and we remember your soul
and call it G-Speed. You're just the type of guy that we'd need,
livin' in this crazy world spinnin' in repeat. (yeah)
So be our guardian angel as we grow,
and continue watching over the globe, with your Afterglow.
Chorus: X2
The days are seeming so long.
And I still can't believe that you're gone.
And you know that I miss you, I'm fallin' apart.
But you're still here,
and your always in my heart
Outro:
Yeah... We miss you G...
And it's hard not to grieve
But we still got our memories
Like the night we spent together on New Years Eve
And we'd talk about one day being in the movies
You and me... Truly
No one live their life quite like you G
And your Afterglow is here to show that it's a thing of beauty
I think of you every time I hear the Dave Mathew's Band
Or at any random moment through out my day... & I close my eyes
I only wish I could be half the man that you were
And have some of the strength that you'd hold inside
At night I talk to you...And you don't talk back
But I know you're up there with the Master though
And I know you can hear me from on his lap
And the way you show it is - is your Afterglow..
