Apple Eyes

Let me start
You had the kind of heart that had a way of seeing the best in us
I think I speak for the rest of us in the crowd
While you were killing the stage at an innocent age
You were magical
Everything I want to be

Miss my Apple Eyes

At 17 you were a summer’s dream
You had the whole damn world fingertips
It was yours for the taking
In 25 years you lived 50 years but you’ll be a young man for the rest of mine
I’ll be missing you
In every single thing I do

Your heart still beats
Your lungs still breathe
But I still miss my Apple Eyes

A K town legend in every sense
And ever since the photographs, the paragraphs
From the Rolling Stone to the Beirut clash
And I never wondered how the hell did my high school friend make out so well
‘Cause I knew why
Yeah I know why
Everybody knows you were a hundred dollar bill floating through the sky
Forever floating
